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.
The oil pump is inside the case halves. You have to completely dismantle the engine to get to the oil pump. If you know how to rebuild an engine, you can do it yourself. If you have to pay someone else to do it, you mine as well change the pistons, rings, cam chains, and maybe even rod bearings.
Check with your dealer, but I believe on that enginee, the oil pump has a nylon drive gear. THis gear has been shreding on that modle from 1988 to 1999. It Happed to me. I called customer service at Kawasaki, and after some haggling, they assumed all the costs to fix the bike.I have a 1997 1500 A modle Vulcan.
Good Luck
