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

SOURCE: 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.

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.

The clutch slave cylinder is behind the left engine cover. Very simple job to remove. Remove foot peg and shifter and a few bolts and cover comes off. Also no oil will leak out of this cover.
