I just got an 04 xb12s with 10,000 miles, how many miles should i change the oil 2,500 or 5,000 and should i put synthetic i bought it from a dealer so i dont know what the previous owner put and i don't want to downgrade. I was thinking about royal purple.

Royal Purple 20W50 will work great in your Buell, 5000 mile changes should be fine. I like Formula+ in the tranny. Best wishes on your new purchase, you will love this bike!

I use Mobile 1 Vtwin 20w50 and Formula+ in the primary. Change both at 5000 miles.
Yes to synthetic.
