The speedo drives are known to be easily broken if mishandled or incorrectly fitted - has the front wheel recently been removed?
If no, then check the wire from the drive to the clock first and if no damage apparent then it may still be worth removing the front wheel to check the drive. But as the fault is intermittent I'd first suspect a damaged cable or poor connections.
