Whale sperm was the original magic ingrediant in GM limited slip differential fluid. It was used to keep the clutch packs in the differential from sticking and causing wheel hop and chattering when cornering. Since whales have been protected GM now has a synthetic additive with similar properties, but it just isn't as good as the original.
For years the additive was added to automatic transmissions to stop rough apply of the torque converter clutch. It nearly always fixed the problem, but supplies dried up quickly. The synthetic additive seems to work well in the limited slip differentials, but was a 50/50 success in curing torque converter problems. Most torque converter issues can be resolved by adding Lubeguard. Some manufacturers have special fluid (Honda, Chrysler,etc) and will shift hard if the wrong fluid is used. Hope this helps clarify why this question is in this section.

Whale Sperm

Odd question for the motorcycle section.
But other than the "obvious". Sperm from whales could mean the wax which is obtained from either head cavities or the blubber, and used to make candles, cosmetics, etc.

Sperm whales get their name from spermeceti, a liquid wax that fills the spermaceti organ found in the head of the whale. Early whalers initially thought this liquid wax in the head of the whale was the whale's sperm, and therefore got its name. Spermeceti literally means "sperm of the whale". The organ's actual function is still uncertain.

It is the part of the motorcycle that doesn't belong in the right questions section.

Don't know this one either.
As a guess: Lubriplate (assembly grease).
