Can someone tell me whether the starter for a GS650G would be compatible for a GS1100? Are they the same for all or most GS models?

Starter Motor Compatibility
- Thread starter Mr.humbucker
- Start date
Partzilla lists the related fitment once you look up the year and model - here is for '82 GS650G starter, doesn't look like it'll fit anything over 650cc

Starter not stator … apologies
my mistake … starter not stator
Thanks! This is very helpful!
The starter in my '82 GS1100E crapped out so I rummaged through my parts collection and found one that was marked "GS750". I don't remember if there was a year marked, but I put it in and it's working great. That was YEARS ago I put it in. Doesn't answer your question, but somehow I think they're pretty much all the same.
Check the listings at Stocker's Starters for more enlightenment, and ponder the pictures, specs, and part numbers:

In a nutshell, I dunno about your case, but I think it does not seem likely. Might want to clarify which "GS1100" you have in mind as well.
But I do know there's a lot more GS starter cross-compatibility than most suspect.

This is for a starter for a 1980 GS850.
As you can see, there's a fair range of cross-compatibility (barring errors), including early 1100G, if that's what you've got. This is one of the commonest starters in the GS range, but it doesn't mention the 650.
Beware tooth count and flange fitting.
There are other starters in the range that physically fit, but have an extra tooth on the pinion. That messes your day up.
