What you need to service the Triumph Street Triple RS

Firstly, you need to see if you have the basic motorcycle maintenance tools — nothing shocking, just things like a paddock stand, oil filter wrench, and so on.

The following is a list of specific consumables for the Triumph Street Triple series of motorcycles.

Engine oil	The manual suggests semi or fully synthetic 10W/40 or 10W/50 motorcycle engine oil which meets specification API SH (or higher) and JASO MA, such as Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) engine oil, sold as Castrol Power RS Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) in some countries.
Oil filter	Replace the oil filter every time you change the oil. Use Triumph part number T1218001. You can also use K&N part KN-204-1.
Spark plugs	Use NGK spark plugs with code CR9EIA9. Make sure they’re gapped to 0.9mm with an appropriate spark plug gap tool.
Air filter	Use Triumph part number T2200957 or K&N equivalent part TB-7617.
Coolant	Triumph uses Hybrid Organic Acid Technology coolant with a 50% ethylene glycol mix. Zerex G05 is a HOAT coolant that meets this spec.
Brake pads	Front: EBC part FA447HH (you need two sets) Rear: EBC part FA213HH (just need one set)

General information about the Triumph Street Triple RS

Triumph’s Street Triple RS is in a class of its own — a lightweight triple cylinder high-revving motorcycle making over 120 hp (over 90 kW). The MT-09 has been nipping at its heels, but the Street Triple has always been a fan favourite.

The new generation Street Triple RS has a significantly updated 765cc triple engine, developed by Triumph’s Moto2 engine team, that delivers track-ready levels of power and torque.

The Street Triple RS has front suspension of Showa 41 mm upside down big piston forks (BPF), with adjustable compression damping, rebound damping and preload adjustment, and an Ohlins STX40 fully-adjustable piggyback reservoir shock respectively.
