Maybe a broken speedometer cable.
Unscrew the cable from the gauge.
Remove the cable from the speed drive at the F wheel.
Remove the inner cable to see if it's broken.

unscrew the cable from the speedo, the inside cable should be square, not rounded, attemt to twist it, it should not turn, if it does, unscrew the cable from the front hub and see what shape the cable is in, if the ends look good, screw the cable back into the speedo and get a drill and put the inside cable in the chuck and put the drill in reverse and push a little on the cable to make sure it's seated in the speedo and turn it on, the speedo should register, if not it's bad.

Despite sharing the name, Ninjas are not a family of bikes that share characteristics.
