Are the stators from GS 550 and GS 650 interchangeable?

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
You will have to look at specific years and models and cross reference the parts fiches on a site like partshark.com. Look a the Generator page. On some years they call it a STARTOR, we know that ain't right. Anyway, a brief look shows that some 80s models of 550 and 650 shared the same 18-pole stator (I'm sure lots of other years/models/displacements as well), Some earlier 550 models had a 12-pole stator. You've gotta do a bit of picking around.
Oh, and welcome to the forum.
We like pictures, and signatures with your bike(s) years/models, too.

Thanks for the info. Got a new one off eBay but the gasket isn’t the same as mine is. I’m assuming they sent me one for a 550. Gotta do some testing. The repair manual says it should produce 80volts AC between the terminals from the stator at 4000 rpm. I have a voltmeter on the bike. Took it for a 85 mile ride Sunday. It will maintain 13.2 volts DC while cruising at 4000-5000 rpm. But drops to 12.7 at around 2500. Im hesitant to break the engine case unless I know for sure it’s the stator.

I have not. The only thing I’ve done so far is to clean the regulator/rectifier ground wire connection to the motorcycle frame. Baby steps.

Next step is to take the AC voltage measurements between the stator leads.
I'd skip straight to this. Even if you are using a shunt R/R, it should be wired like this...
