Well, as I have just found out, coil sticks are not available from Triumph any more. So if you find any buy 'em.

 

I found out that the crank position sensor could be replaced with a Kawasaki item, so there's usually something out there which will work. I seem to remember that a Subaru thermostat is the same, but I could be wrong about that.
I found coil sticks here

they might have what you want.

 

Hi mate, I have a 2003 955 Tiger, probably very similar to yours.
In answer to your questions.
Any decent 10w 40 4T semi or fully synthetic oil should be fine. You can pay for Mobil 1 or Castrol Edge if you want. I use Rock Oil and it’s fine.
Bulbs - Some have done LED but I’m not convinced by them. HID might be better as they heat up the gas inside the bulb unit rather than the air inside the reflector.
Instrument panel bulbs can be replaced with LED. These apparently are plug and play,
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15324775...ia2zr7iqwa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I’m sure you can get similar in the US or Europe.
Good upgrades - Ricks Electrics Stator and Shindegen FH020AA mosfet regulator. A lot more reliable. There’s a link lead you can get from Triumph for the Street Triple which has the same plugs for the stator and from the outlet on the regulator to make it plug and play too. Hope that helps.
