Interesting situation.
As far as I know, multiple flashes do not occur on a stock C-14. The only thing that causes that that I am aware of is an alarm system, and that must be manually wired into the turn signal lights for that to even work. The bike does not flash error codes through any external (non- dash) part of the bike, again to the best of my knowledge.
Given that the bike has a new battery and assuming the cables are tight (from the new battery), nothing comes to mind to check other than what Jim said- remove farkles and try to find the cause that way.
Best of luck and please do report back if / when you find the source of the problem.

When I turn off the ignition, either OFF or FSS, sometimes it flashes all the lights four times before shutting off. i am used to it flashing only once before shutting off. i just purchased and installed a new battery, (stock one lasted almost 7 years), thinking it was a battery issue; however, it still does the same thing: flashes lights and can hear several relays clicking four times before shutting off.
No error codes.
Do I have a problem? it is definitely different that it has been before. I installed an electronic flasher relay to return flash rate to stock. converted 3 wire to two wire relay and left the ground unhooked. could that have anything to do with the issue?
I recently added additional LED turn signal strips to the front signals, mounted on the bottom edge of the mirrors. But it started the 'four flash thing' before i installed any of the additional parts.
