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.
