Speedo failure.

[Bunny Burrell]

I have a 2009 built R111 Classic, everything working fine. I gave the bike a decent wash targeting mainly the wheels, but also gave the body work a wash down. Tightened a couple of bolts in the fuel gauge and clock, so as the clock is live I disconnected the battery.
After putting back together I popped out to see a friend on the bike, Speedo not working! Trip has returned to zero, but when you turn the ignition on the Speedo does it’s correct sweep prior to pushing the start button.
Thoughts please folks before I start prodding things!

Is it a problem with the speedo or the sender unit?

Also did you unplug the wiring....verify you didn't bend over a contact at the plug.

No I didn’t disconnect any of the electrics, just the battery negative terminal.
