I was riding yesterday and realized my speedometer was just reading zero? It's a 2014 xf7000 cross country sno pro with 7300 miles. Shes been running like a top and still is...any suggestions? I looked for anything obvious on the trail but haven't had time to really dig into it yet. A quick search online only show possible magnet issue which I'm baffled how that could happen without messing with the chaincase. Maybe a bad sensor?
 

Metal shavings on magnets in chain case or the sensor unglued from the chain case, perhaps a broken wire.
 
See if the sensor fell off the chaincase.
Lol..I was just coming in to mention it's an easy fix! It came off the exterior chaincase...now I just have to warm it up and epoxy it back on...anything recommended as far as epoxy or glue?
 
I just used rtv silicone

I just used that as well...unfortunately I'm outside so I used a heat gun, warmed it up, cleaned it, warmed it again and lathered it up...hopefully it sticks well...either way...easy fix! thank you all for the heads up! I didn't get 1 response over at arctic chat.

Part of the reason why I ride Yamaha, mostly good people who want to help, not stupid remarks like fb , glad you found us

Hey, do you still have this sled? I realize it's an old thread, but I believe I have the same issue, all is working except the speedometer. Would you have pictures of where the issue is located? Thanks
 
My speed sensor fell off first ride this year. The magnets on speed sensor started working there way out of the plastic on end of drive shaft. They chewed there way through the case. Luckily wasn’t too far away from the truck. Didn’t loose much oil.
