I have the clutch cover leak on my 2008 1125R. The dealer has ordered the parts. Is it safe to ride my bike..? I don't want to damage anything. I just had the 620 service done, and it actually seems to be leaking more than before I took it in to the dealer.

So long as the res. has ample fluid you shouldn't damage anything. The only thing I'd be concerned with is the leakage on the clutch cover and make sure it doesn't get all over the place.

Is it a gushing geyser leak, or is it a steady weep?

If it's a SLOW leak/weep, just keep an eye on the fluid level & ride it. Should be fine.

If it's pouring out, park it until it's fixed.
