***UPDATE;

*I drained my oil and all the oil [3.5 quarts] was milky beige?
Remember the bike sat outside for a year in the elements.

I DO NOT KNOW IF THAT MUCH 'CONDENSATION' COULD GET IN THERE TO TURN ALL THE OIL MILKY

***I have no oil in the radiator, the radiator is full and very green color.

I figured if it was the 'headgasket' there would be oil in the radiator also, correct?

Could be condensation... Or worse.

I'd change the oil and go from there.

Today I purchased another Drifter 1500,  this one is a 1999 Drifter

***IMPORTANT: the bike sat 'outdoors uncovered' for over one year in the elements rain, cold, heat, etc. without being driven for over one year .

***i'm looking at the oil glass and it is milky.

is it possible for water or condensation to get in the oil, or is it something more serious?

I charged the battery and it started right up, I drove it for 2-3 miles and ran fine?

The oil looks 'milky beige' on the oil sight glass.
