Try a new thermostat, check for leaks, old or dilute coolant will not cause overheating

Is it common at this time of year, december, to have beige motor oil in a kawasaki vn 1500 fi -01?

Motor oil turns white/beige when it becomes emulsified with water or coolant. While the presence of emulsion can indicate an internal coolant leak or careless topping up the oil level, the nature of modern anti-pollution positive crankcase breather systems draws cool damp air into the hot engine. Some such systems aren't well designed and are prone to creating "mayonnaise", especially in the cooler, damper months.

Check that your crankcase oil level is not overfull. Have bike compression tested and check that it is within spec.

There is a site glass on the side of the crankcase that contains the clutch, it is about the size of a quarter, the oil should be 1/2 way up the glass hot engine.

Can a stuck therostat cause the radiator fan not to come on? I have disconected the wires and jumped them and the fan comes on. It is a 2000 model 1500 classic.

Yes as the senser is in the raditor and if the stat is stuck the raditor doesn't get hot and the fan doesn't come on. This bike is very hard to get full of coolant if it does get low. Top off the coolant and run the engine tilll hot then after its been shut off for a little while again try to add coolant if you add some do it again and again till you can't add any more. Then see if the stat opens and the raditor gets hot then finally hot enough to turn the fan on

2002 kawasaki vn 1500 classic.electrical fault.

Check the ground wire at the battery, at the negative post at the battery you'll find a smaller (black/yellow) wire, it must be plugged into the main harness, it might have become unplugged, the connections will be right close to the battery.

On a day where the temp. is about 60 Degrees, my bike runs terrible, pops back through the carb, but if it's hot and humid it runs awesome .....any ideas?

Sounds like it might be running too lean. The hotter outside temperature it gets the more rich the motor runs. You need to resolve this because you could be harming your motor.

Checking oil & coolant level

On the right side of the motorcycle, just behind the engine cover is a crome curved cover. Under the cover is the coolent inlet. The oil level sight glass is under same engine cover. Your exhaust pipe man be blocking your view.
