Default 07 zx 10r , mph is fluctuating, digital speedo

i have a 07 zx 10r and my problem is i have a digital speedo and the mph is fluctuating ( when i feel like im doing 25mph it reads 0 when i feel like im doing 90 it reads 45) every other fuctions work

i'm thinking the sensor is dirty on the wheel but dont know where it is

Hold on, what does the crankshaft have to do with MPH??? NOTHING!!!!

The sensor is inside the front sprocket cover. That's where all the new bikes have 'em
Lack of chain lube, results in metal shavings collecting on magnetic sensor, and closing the clearance to the sprocket. = Bad reading.
