And the speedo cable should be behind the fork not in front, so it can't catch on stuff so easily.

Wow what is going on with your front brake pipe? !

It should be straight down to the lower fork, then go on the inside so it can't snag on anything.
Indeed it should. I do these things deliberately to make the ride more interesting, and to make sure that everyone is paying attention.

Love mine, just does what you want with no electrickery to go wrong, batteries to fail, keys to lose. If you stall it when hot, pull in the decompressor and give it 5 kicks with no throttle, then release, never fails to start on mine :P

No worries. I know what a crap mechanic I am. I sold the bike over 3 years ago anyway. Maybe I can use it as an excuse for why I fell off that bike so much...

I wonder if the new guy re-routed the cables...

If you want decent off-tarmac grip and acceptable road performance then Pirelli MT21 are good.

Their life depends on how hard you push them: hard braking and cornering on tarmac can destroy an MT21front quite quickly.
