Enter Code BMWMOA. It's in the BMW Owners News Magazine, Page 75 of the current November issue. It's been the same code for years I think.

It is the correct code, just all lowercase letters.
thanks for the help everyone, and thanks to Mike at BBY, he directed me to all of the needed parts.
 
Can’t speak for GSADDICT, but folks who are used to a wet multi plate clutch are used to allowing the clutch to be in the friction zone between engagement and not. Dry clutch doesn’t like to be there for long. Best to use a quick smooth transition from off to engaged.

Which is why I have gotten 150,000 miles on a BMW dry clutch on my R1150R, but police departments often get 20,000 to 30,000 miles on their dry clutch BMW or HD cop bikes. I bought a K75RTP which was a trade-in by the Lawrence, Kansas police department with 19,000 miles on the bike. It had already had the clutch replaced. Parades and in-town traffic control is a different riding style from cross-country touring. :)
