Take off the transducer off the speedometer gear and see if the little tab turns with the front wheel. Stick a small flat blade screwdriver in the transducer and turn it an see if the speedo reacts.

The GL1200 service manual should have step by step instructions on testing the speedo electronics. As far as fixing the transducer, fuggetaboutit, it is epoxy filled to keep moisture from attacking the electronics.

Disconnect the speed sensor from the speedometer gearbox at the front wheel.
Connect a voltmeter across the Black/Brown and
Black/Yellow terminals of the sensor white 3-P coupler.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
The sensor is normal if the voltmeter needle swings from
0 to about 5 slowly eight times when the sensor drive
shaft is turned slowly one full turn.
