Are you running original clocks ? Just the Speedo drive is located at the front spindle. Some aftermarket clocks run a sensor on the fork leg and as you say a magnet on the rim or spokes. -

If any rust or other metallic crap builds up it can impair the ‘spin’. I had a tiny nut come loose inside that made my rev counter look like a fuckin to~yo!

Nah, I was on about the clocks themselves. If your Speedo and a mates (known good) speedo say the same, they’re probably good. More likely that a previous owner has put the wrong snail drive out of a different bike on yours…
You want to look for a Yamaha with the same size spindle-bolt that has a 4 nut clamp on the right side. Xt’s and older Dt’s will probably be the same. Even some non 21inch wheels might use the same drive?…Fowlers will have the part number if you want to search for it…
