SVA! = an error on the Side View Assist system
RDC = the on-board tire pressure monitoring system functioning normally, because the bike likely just started up, and you don't start getting data until after a minute of warm-up

What about service mesage?
The seller claims that he did the service at 8000 km ..

If the picture was taken after the service, the only thing that would make sense is if the service was not done by a BMW dealer, nor by anyone that has the appropriate scanner/software etc to reset the service indicator, so I would just ask the seller who did the service and does s/he have the invoice so you can see what was done etc.

If it was done over a calendar year ago, the service indicator would come on as well.
Given that that service is really just fluid changes, I wouldn't overthink it.

The RDC on my 2016 GT has NEVER come on. Even when i bought it 2nd hand a few years
back. When the NEW to me BMW had only 2.300. Now has 13.800 miles n the TPMS
warning light comes on n the rear censor is going out. For 1 week it will be fine n then that
warning light would come on for 2 or 3 days n go off. I asked the parts guy at the dealer n
he said there is NO interchangeable battery to replace it. There for you would have to buy
the whole front & rear censor. The parts guy could not find the price for that he said.

@Greg goes wild -- HERE are the sensors I've had my mechanic install on my Sport and GT when changing tires, no issues with compatibility, and a damn sight cheaper than OEM.
I'll order them again when the need arises.

That's all they are rubber n a battery in them?? That's a whole lot CHEAPER then what BMW
dealer wants. This i did NOT know you could find them much cheaper. I will send your
reply to my brother who has worked on all the bikes i've had over the yrs. Plus his own
motorcycles.

Thank you guys for the advice, I bought a bmw c650gt 2019 today with 10,000 km on it. When I wash it, I will take a picture of it and properly present it to the forum (today I got caught in the rain on the intercity way home, my underwear was wet). now just a picture of the exhaust that is on the bike, only the exhaust, not the whole line,has been changed. I thought I would remove it (considering that I am going to get a factory one also,from the seller)but I'm delighted with how it sounds ,and if it's not my "cup of tea" in general ,never was.
Does anyone have experience, when only the exhaust is changed, does a new map have to be loaded via software into the engine.

Congratulations with your purchase, we look forward to seeing the whole bike!
You don't (should not) need any software modifications AFAIK when you mount the stock exhaust back on. To be 100% sure you can look up the installation instructions for the Akrapovich but I seriously doubt a software mod was part of the installation process. It only affects the sound and perhaps it affects the performance, but probably only slightly and then it could even be negative.
