Can the speedometer sensor be opened to access the wiring connections? Speedometer quit working and wiring connections (from inside headlamp case) check out fine. Thinking it's the 3 wires that go into the spoeedo sensor (inside the unit itself). Unless it can be opened up to insure wire connections, I'll have to replace it, however I'm hoping I won't have to do that. Please let me know.
Thank you all for everything!

Not that I'll be able to answer the question, but does your motorcycle have a stock Kawasaki electronic speedometer or mechanical type? The diagrams at Partzilla are showing the latter.

Several years ago my bike had intermittent speedometer needle issues, and the cause was a faulty wheel speed sensor. The replacement I found on ebay fixed that...
