Took the plug out and added a 5 amp crimp to the black wire (only one cut), but it didn't bring the speedometer to life; although I did only move the bike up and down the path down the side of the house so may need to take it out on the road when I get a chance to see if it moves then (not sure if the speedometer would move at such slow speed).
If my repair hasn't worked I might just lug it to the local shop if they'll do it cheap, I know if I bourght a solder iron I'd murder the wiring and its thin as thin gets anyway.

Are both ends of the wire crimped in there? The lower crimp is only gripping the insulation. I'd put four crimps on that style of connector, two near the middle gripping the ends of each wire and two near the ends gripping the insulation. Try pulling it apart, if it comes apart before you grunt or the wire digs into your fingers, it wasn't crimped properly.
The red wire has also been pinched. Could it be broken under the insulation? Again, try pulling it apart, if you can, it was broken. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Sorry riding it down the side of the house is what I mean I'd done, and I didn't notice any movement in the needle. Is definitley the wire though as I'd replaced the damaged inner hub that clicks into the wheel recently after it was damaged a long time ago thinking it was that.
I'll have a second look at the crimp in the coming days, I am terrible at wiring despite this being about as simple as a repair as it comes
Will also look at the red one, and update if needed. ____________________ The do it all, T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶,̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶l̶u̶m̶p̶,̶ ̶C̶h̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶N̶o̶o̶d̶l̶e̶ |
