Speedometer not working

I recently purchased a 2006 Arctic Cat F7. I noticed the speed does not register and the odometer does not register. I checked the speed sensor and that is good, checked connections on back of speedometer and checked for any melted wires near the exhaust pipe. Everything seems good , Is there anything else I should look for ? Thanks

grab a good hold and wiggle the driveshaft, if there is play your driveshaft bearing is on the way out.

I agree with slowsi00. Drive shaft bearing failure wiped out speedo at shaft. Fix now before further damage to shaft. Pretty sure 06 still had this set up. Check everything else before tear down. Not a easy task.

I don't have that problem, mine is a diamond drive.

You are correct on diamond drive. I had an 06 crossfire. If there is not a cable there has to be a board that converts the pick up signal. Could be a board or perhaps an inline fuse? There may also be a reset. Stumped.

take the speedo unit off and there is a magnet inside and something loosened up so the distance between the magnet and recorder or another magnet in unit is greater than a 1/16 of an inch....I have destroyed magnets....but the 1st sign of imminent implosion of jack shaft bearings is.....THE SPEEDO GOES OUT....and it could be loose in gear case side.....not sure of exact diamond drive setup without looking at fiche...also check the speedo cable where it goes into unit....a belt break has sheared mine off before and it has come loose also....good luck
