Hi Yukon, Welcome to the GSR. The oil leak problem, that I know of was on the early models on the cam cover. I think it was fixed by the time they came to the 650. The stator papers is on the main page in the Garage. I haven't experienced the problem on my 1978, but I think quite a few have. Enjoy the site.

I have an 83 650 gl and have talked to the dealer about this and he said it was other models and the reg/rec. on the 650 had no problems either.It's when you get into the bigger bikes that it became a problem. Blue book is only 1130 for one in good condition.Go to www.bluebook.com and you can see what you should pay for bikes

i have an 82 GL650L and have had no (knock wood) stator problems... my bike sat for many years, and I resurrected it about 3 years ago. I've put about 3,000 miles on it since then.
I'm sure if it goes, I'll be able to get advice and parts thru help on this site.
Got any pics of it?

I have an '82 GS650L with 49,000 km and no problems in the r/r or stator. When I got it at 46,000 km did all checks in the shop manual, cleaned up all connections, it's been good to me so far.
I agree the price is a bit high. But it seems like in Canada anyway any running bike in decent shape only drops in price to about $1200 - $1500.
