This is interesting

Was out in the shop doing some cleaning and picked up a quart bottle with the oz. measure sight window on the side and noticed the red-line shock-proof trans. oil had separated into two colors. Bright red on top and that peachy cloudy stuff on the bottom.(shockproof?!)
What do ya think? gonna do the same thing in your bikes trans. if it sits a while. I shook it all up and marked my calendar to see how long it takes to separate again. I do like how the stuff performs but-------.

Nothing to worry about, and that stuff gets pretty wells stirred and mixed once inside the tranny.

I don't think that whatever they use to color it has anything to do with the performance of it and it might be that it is just separated.

I'd email them and ask.
