speedo cable is good but the speedo is kaput

Connect the cable to the front hub and spin the wheel. If the cable rotates the gear is good. If it doesn't rotate, the gear is bad or not installed properly. The speedo can be check in the same manner.

When I got the old one off it looked fine and the new one didnt help. 17k on it. I dont think speedos go that fast so I am guessing the gear on the wheel. It has been under water once or twice :-) Any thoughts or has any body seen a failure mode other than cables that I should go to first? Skypilot, A.K.A. Chris from CT

Here are photos in the below link.  I do believe that the hub is wasted.   http://ateamnm.smugmug.com/KLR-Wheel-Photos/KLR-Front-Hub-Wheel-Photos   Thank you Ateam
