I hate to reply to my own post but thought it might help someone else. I replaced the sensor and it wasn't difficult. Here is what I did:
Removed battery
Removed driven clutch
Removed battery box
This allowed the most access to the sensor. One bolt, the sensor came right out and a new one went right in. Replaced all the above and fired it up for a test. All is well.
Now... why did it fail in the first place? I hope this is a one time problem.

My speedometer quit on my '06 700 Classic and I'm about to change the speedometer sensor. There is only one bolt holding the sensor in position but it is in quite a tricky place to get at. Has anyone replaced one of these? Hints/tips?
