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 T2200987 or K&N equivalent part TB-6713.
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)

You also need the following general consumables for servicing your Street Triple RS.

Product	Thumbnail	Description
Chain lubricant		The chain needs to be lubricated every 800 km/500 miles (or more, if it gets wet/dirty). Motul chain paste is cheap and well-loved.
Chain cleaner brush		A chain cleaner brush makes cleaning off grime and then distributing new lubricant much more easy.
Paddock stand		Lubricating the chain and changing the oil both become a lot easier once you use an affordable paddock stand.
Cable lubricant		Remember to lubricate your clutch cable (and brake cables if you have them) with a cable lubricant. Protect All Cable Life is a good general-purpose lubricant.
Grease		Get a good lithium soap based grease for lubricating major components like your side stand, centre stand, and bearings.
