Use no more than 6-10 ft-lbs.  Better to use 6 and some blue locktite.

Oak says that the BMW guys never got around to finishing that chapter in their service manuals on the 1979 and 1980 R65.  In September 1980 they changed to the light weight clutch with the bigger bolts and forgot about the past.  We are left to remember!!!!

TTFN,

Use 7.5 ft pounds (88 inch pounds) and some blue locktite.  Read hint in this Snowbum file:
