2. Is there supposed to be anything in the hole at the top of the speed sensor hub? You can see the sort of square hole inside the hub at the top in the picture.

3. Don't mind replacing the sensor magnet, but at $35 or so, I don't want to spend it if the speed sensor hub is broken.
You can get the correct parts diagram for your model year here (what I provided was for a '13, yours looks a bit different):

Hard to tell from the picture if that top hole is bent or if that's normal to the design.

That hole at the top is where one of the tangs on the hub engages. There should be another 180 across from it. That's how the sensor rotates and produces a signal for the speedo. Spin that and see if the speed works. If it doesn't you need to page 16-75 in the service manual and run the diagnostic flow chart to find out where the fault is.

Thanks for the help. I ordered the speed sensor as I don't think this one engages with the hub properly.

Suppose I can use my phone GPS until the part arrives!

Installed the new sensor and it works correctly now.

Only question left is how the part worked when I was test riding the bike and for the first weeks after I got it home. No way it should have worked at all.
