Triumph Street Triple 765 mods & upgrades

The 765 triple is the engine Moto2 runs, sold in a naked you can commute on — the default 'one bike that does everything' of its class. Its mod scene mirrors that split personality: tail tidy and protection for the street, and a genuine supersport-grade track build hiding under the flyscreen.

1. Tail tidy

   The stock hanger is the size of a mudflap. Evotech Performance is the UK Triumph staple; TST and New Rage cover the US side with integrated tail lights and flush signals.

2. Protection

   Frame sliders, engine case covers (GB Racing lists the 765) and bar-end weights — nakeds fall on bars and cases. Evotech and R&G radiator guards are a popular add; the radiator sits exposed.

3. Slip-on

   Arrow builds Triumph's official accessory exhausts, so fitment and mapping are already sorted — the low-mount Arrow is the community default. SC-Project S1 for the tucked GP look.

4. Cockpit

   Shorty levers (ASV/CRG fit by gen), grips, bar-end mirrors, and a flyscreen or touring screen (Puig) if you ride distance.

5. Map it

   TuneECU — the Triumph community's long-running tool — covers many triples for custom maps; verify support for your exact year and ECU before buying cables. Otherwise it's a dealer flash with the Arrow map.

6. Suspension by trim

   R owners: the rear shock is the upgrade (Nitron, K-Tech, Öhlins). RS owners: your Öhlins STX40 mostly needs springs and sag set for your weight, not replacement.

   Suspension

1. Tires and tank grips

   Supercorsa SP/Q5-class rubber on the stock 120/70-17 and 180/55-17 sizes plus Stompgrip/TechSpec — the wide bar makes body-lock grip pads work harder for you.

2. Brake consumables

   Race pads, braided lines, fresh fluid, lever guard. RS hardware (M50s, Stylemas from 2023) is already track-grade; R-model M4.32s respond to the same treatment.

3. Spring for your weight

   Fork springs and shock spring matched to you, then valving with your trackside tuner. The stock RS setup is street-plush at track pace.

4. Ergonomics

   Rearsets (Gilles, Woodcraft, Bonamici list the 765) buy cornering clearance the stock pegs give up early. Clip-on conversions exist — the Moto2 Edition proves the concept — but need triple-clamp work; they're not a bolt-on.

5. Crash-ready

   GB Racing covers, axle sliders, and a belly pan if your org requires fluid catch for race classes. Naked race bodywork is niche but flyscreen/belly kits exist per generation.

6. Full system, map, gearing

   Full exhaust with a proper map, then -1/+2 style gearing with a 520 kit for tight tracks. The triple's midrange means gearing changes hit harder here than on an inline-four.

  Biggest revision yet: ~128 hp claimed on the RS via new cams and compression, Brembo Stylemas, cornering ABS/TC, 5-inch TFT, quickshifter standard across the range, plus the clip-on-equipped Moto2 Edition. 2026 adds RX and Moto2 specials. Bodywork and headers split here.
