It is broken already so you can't really do any more damage by looking inside (probably). If you do find the problem and need a part.....????
I think the "third party" idea is not good. It needs to look like the ODO is original equipment when it comes time to sell; othewise it will be obvious that the indicated mileage is not correct and the price will go (way) down.
I think the best approach, if you can't fix it, is to replace it with a genuine Suzuki one, either new or used.
Edit: I just looked and your bike is 5-6 years old. Before you go taking the speedo apart, which can be a frustrating experience, you might want to check the price of a new cable. If it is not that much, it might be prudent to try that first........despite your friends analysis.
