One thing to try:

Remove the speedometer.
Get a large ZipLoc type bag (freezer bags work best).
Put speedometer in the bag.
Add about 1-2 pounds of rice to the bag.
Seal up the bag.

About every hour or so, agitate the contents.

The rice will absorb some/most of the moisture in the speedo.  I've used this trick on cellphones that got wet, and it works more often than it doesn't. Once you get the moisture out, you can then diagnose how the water got in there.

Good luck, and let us know what happens.
