Default 2011 heritage digital read out

I have a 2011 heritage with 24578 miles. the question I have is the digital read out under the speedo is changing to the milage from what ever I have it set on. everytime I start up. I have noticed also that at start up the starter ingages hangs for a second then starts. I was thinking maybe the battery was goin bad or had a low charge so I put the tender on it and it starts the same. any ideas or am I just worrying about nothing.

well she is going to the shop. this morning it started fine. got to gas station starter hangs then starts. get to bank starter engages really hard and does not turn over, second try engages really hard and turns over but sounds nasty. sounds to me like the starter is taking a crap. well I hope that's what it is.

I'm thinking a battery cable connection or a battery that's going bad.

I will sign into this one just to see what the resolution is. My guess is also a loose cable.
