Battery charged 100%, just clicks
SOURCE: Bike clicking when I try
Usually this is caused by a bad battery or bad connection at the battery. Either way, take the battery out of the bike and take it somewhere that can run a "load test" on the battery to see if it's good. If it's good, you may have a problem in the solenoid section of the starter. The large copper contacts in the solenoid get burned after many starts and need to be replaced. Take the plate off the backside of the starter that is held on by three small 3mm screws. Remove the plate and pull the solenoid plunger and spring out. Look at the two large contacts inside the solenoid. Do they look like they are badly burned and not smooth on the surface? If so, they may need replacing. Don't forget that one of the contacts is still "HOT" as it's still connected to the battery. Before working in the solenoid, disconnect the battery.
Good Luck

A harley AGM battery are usaully good for three to five years the best thing to do is have the battery load tested.Now as far as your problem now depending on the batterys state of charge the solenoid will click or not.Because you store it alot you should keep a trickle charger on the battery
Testimonial: "Thanks for the advice, gives me a direction to pursue. Will have battery tested and hopefully that is all it is."

I'm not too familiar with the later model bikes but if I were getting a clicking noise under the seat and the bike was not starting, I'd investigate the source of the noise. It's possible that it is a starter relay that engages the solenoid that is an integral part of the starter. Look at the starter from the right hand side of your bike. You'll see a single small wire that connects to the end of the starter just above the end plate of the solenoid. Disconnect this wire and connect a test light or volt meter to the wire. Turn on your ignition switch and press the start button. You should hear the click under the seat and see voltage at the end of that wire. If not, replace the relay, a plastic cube about an inch in dimension.
Good Luck

9 times out of 10 its the battery ,, have them LOAD check it before you put it back in, Harleys take a ton of amps to turn over, everything else will work, but no go on starting. Also, once running, short trips will drain the battery fast,, My harley mechanic told me for each start I need 30 minutes of drive time to fully recharge the battery , One dead cell in the battery will cause this to worsen 10 times, make sure all connections are clean and tight
