I have a 2003 and have had front fairing off many times (LED Headlight installs), I don't remember seeing anything yellow! Might be previous owner...
I guess if bearing clearances are in spec, I wouldn't worry. It has made this far in 30 years, how much are you going to ride it and how hard?
I would be more concerned about scoring due to lack of oil. Are bearings in good shape?
Signing off now, good luck. Did you check that 30 amp fuse in the starter relay assembly?

Only two weeks? Might have had a defect, see if they will replace it, if everything else checks out.
Output of alternator (stator is stationary half with coils) will vary with RPM, Regulator half of R/R should limit DC voltage to 14.1 to 14.6,...
Battery was definitely overcharged. You need to "do the drill" and check R/R for proper output voltage. the 'r's stand for Rectifier and...
You might try using a shaker and out some gravel inside tank to dislodge rust flakes. My idea of the Metal Rescue was to find out how many more...
Now that sounds more like a bad ground, devices feeding back through other devices to find ground. Check all you connectors and ground connections.
