Okay, here's the readings. jd, based on your instructions and preferred readings, I think they will reflect that we can now move to the odemeter itself.
Battery Voltage: 13.04
Red/Green odometer wire voltage: 13.02
Black odometer wire voltage: 13.02
Black odometer wire resistance: 0.00
Now I wish I knew how to check the circuit board and the odometer itself.  But I am not dissuaded. I will see if there is something online that discusses how to use a voltage meter on circuit boards.
If someone knows, feel free to chime in!

About the only thing I can suggest without it in front of me is, it's the meter. I wish I had more info on the internals. I know everything goes into the housing and goes onto a printed circuit board, but have not opened one. I don't know if there is a contact-fit interface between the meters and the board, a ribbon, or what have you. I'd love to find a "junk" one to cipher on, but you have narrowed it to the meter, as far as I can see. Anyone else got anything?

Well, nothing left at this point other than to put it all back together.
Appreciate all the help, guys! I learned a lot, once again!

Well, I know what happened, but I don't know why it affected my odometer and speedometer.
Hadn't ridden the R* for three days due to rainy season and some quick trips on the scooter.
Today (Tuesday night), cranked up the bike for the first time since Friday, heard the ticking of the fuel pump, which I hadn't heard since this odometer adventure began. Hit the starter, got a little bit of a cough and sputter, but it started immediately afterward. Then all of a sudden I get a double needle sweep from both the odometer and the speedometer.
Went to the ATM. Restarted the bike afterwards. Everything still working and rode to go eat with friends and play some pool. Restarted the bike after about 3 hours. Everything still working all the way home.
Amazing. 
Happy about it, but wish I knew what did it.

The Yamaha fairies came in the night and fixed it.  Glad to hear it's working again. |

Probably a combination of the R* fairies and needing three days of rest from my tinkering.

Send the R* fairies to Florida my gas gauge has not worked in years
I know what needs to be fixed just don't feel like doing it. I would rather reset the trip meter and be able to ride than have my ride down (something always comes up once it’s apart ). |

Captain America and Billy didn't need no gas gauges!
Then again, they ran out of gas, and also got killed. |

true, true. Well there is nothing in my tank that I am hiiding from the police. So I got that little extra gas.
The gas gauge was always so slow after a fill up that I was sown a 1/4 take before it registered. I never knew if it was right or not to begin with so, I used the trip meter even when the gauge worked.
