Thanx Guys for your effort. Great stuff!
I have an 07 640 Adventure, while I dream of riding RTW with it. It won't be anytime soon. But I've managed to rack up 25,000 miles thus far.
On the 07 the front axle nut and the rear are not the same size.
Several weeks ago, I had problems with the bike stalling when rolling on the throttle. It was the ignition system and this tool helped me to determine that it wasn't the carb. I had plenty of spark when at idle, but under any load, it was weak and sporadic. The connection between the plug wire and the spark plug cap was green with corrosion.

If the light looks bright and steady when the misfire occurs, then the problem is in carburetion. If it goes out when the misfire occurs, then the problem is with the ignition. There are all kinds of ways of doing this and you can use different tools, like plug caps with lights on them. The big thing is being able to see when the spark occurs... or doesn't occur.
I trimed about 1/4" off the wire and reattached the spark plug cap.
The soda bottle trick is great for a fuel cell when the tanks off.
The trick for clearing clogged jets does work as descsribe in the below link.
