You'll get this if the bike isn't ridden far and hard enough to get hot:
water vapour created in the engine doesn't get the chance to evaporate
totally, and condenses, creating the 'mayonnaise' as it mixes with the
oil.

I really wouldn't bother ripping out seals, whatever Krusty says, until
it's been ridden hard and fast and allowed to get really hot.

Thank's Gentleman!!!
I'll keep it in mind, as for it being a totally rideable bike that's going
to take just a lil more love and it will be back on the road again, part's
being

L and R handle bar's
L and R mirror
rear brake light
rear brake light switch spring, and switch if it don't work
rear fender
4 flush mounted signal's
upper fairing
air filter
battery
new fork seals
petcock rebuild kit
tires
new cluster plastics
and a seat release lock and setup

than it's just whatever color paint i choose to paint it, the lower fairing
is already painted from the factory with the blue and white with the pink
sticker scheme so that only leaves the upper fairing, gas tank, L+R side's,
rear piece that houses the brake light and the grab bar...
I know, look's and sounds like alot but it's all minor stuff, i figure
around another 1000 maybe less and it'll be road worthy once again... :-)

Thank's for the help to everyone that replied to my gabbing!!!
