Not sure what year you have, but do a good check on the gas tank around the seams. I had a 2014 F800 ADV and they had an issue with the tanks cracking on some. Mine never had any issue but some did. Good motor, a little vibey but cruises well and makes good power.
Looks like it came with an aftermarket seat, thats good! The stock one (like most stock seats) sucked-
Get a GS911 tool is you want to be able to pull codes, do ECU reset etc.

It is the 2014. Has a Seat Concepts seat on it. I will keep an eye on the tank. Thanks for the heads up.

So you will let guys talk about putting those "diverse and intersectionally confused trials tires" on dirtbikes but stifle Starbucks ADV rides!
