Default speedo not working right

lately ive noticed that when i turn on the ignition, the digital part of the speedo that shows the mileage doesnt come on. Everything else works on the speedo (light, dummy lights ect, just blank where the mileage shows up) When i start up the bike, it will then come on. Sometimes this happens, sometimes it dont. Last time i rode it, even starting up the bike didnt make the digital readout work, i turned the bike off then on again and it worked. What can i check to fix this? something loose or does this mean i have to get a new speedo?
