Unhappy Heritage Softail 2009 - Starting problems

Heritage Softail 2009 (3300miles) kept in garage and on charge via Optimiser. has been running perfectly but have had problem staring. sometimes starts OK, then will not start but can hear relay operating when the start button is pressed. When starting side stand up and clutch lever pulled in fully. Have checked all fuses and battery connections are OK. Have had Harley Davidsons for over15 years and not had any mechanical/electrical problems. Any ideas what the problem is?
