Where to buy a complete engine gasket kit?

Checked Z1 and BikeBandit, neither have them, also couldn't find on ebay. I need to do my valves, so I need a valve cover and breather cover gasket, and I need to investigate a noise in the area of my stator and I need to change my clutch springs, so instead of buying all of those individually, I want to get a kit, but cannot find one.

Where to buy them?
 
I got my gasket kit from ebay, i got it from the UK, searching world wide on ebay does not always bring up everything, so it does help to go to that countries ebay site and search there
 
Looks like the factory gasket kit is discontinued for the 1982 650GL. It's listed in the "Optional" tab of the factory parts fishe but the part number shows as unavailable.

Ebay is a good place to look for gaskets. If you go with an aftermarket kit please supplement with an OE base gasket and the critical O-rings such as on the base gasket oil feed passages.

Thank you. I wont be doing anything on the lower engine just yet, but I will remember that for future reference.

Off to ebay I go again I guess, lol.
 
You can roll the dice with aftermarket Athena or Vesrah kits (partsnmore.com probably carries the Athena kit, I think for ~$90). I wouldn't trust anything but an OEM gasket for the cylinder base and head but you're not changing those. Honestly I've had no issues with Athena gaskets on the covers. Doesn't look like OEM full gasket kits are available any longer for the 650G motors. Those 4 individual gaskets run about $50 at gssuzuki.com. Though, many of us rarely if ever change the breather gasket :)

There's also the "make your own" gasket option.

I thought the breather has to be removed to remove the valve cover?
 
It depends on the model. On my 550L it's not difficult to remove the valve cover without removing the breather.
