Default Stumped **2010 flstn**

My trusty 2010 FLSTN has not been trusty these days.

13.13v, healthy battery. All fluids good. Plugs fresh.

The other day after riding for a while, I turned off the bike, checked my phone for a while and then attempted to start the bike up again.
Igntion on, fuel pump starts, hit the start button and the cell turns over fine, but bike doesn't start. Try 2 more times and I give up.
Take my seat off, make sure my battery terminals haven't gotten loose, tighten them a bit (they really weren't loose).. and try again.
Turns on, no problem. Runs fine.

Today, same thing. Ran fine earlier in the afternoon. Stopped to get an ice coffee. Got back on my bike and same exact thing.
Got home fine, checked the battery voltage again, its fine. Tried starting.. and didn't start.

Any ideas?

Start by checking for DTC codes

Check the battery cable closely at both ends and along the length for breaks, corrosion.

You say it does turn over just no start?

So I think I figured it out.
Changed out the starter relay and it seems to be starting up fine now.
