Regulations

=Technical regulations=

Much the same as the Superbike World Championship but all the bikes were much closer stock to spec and there was an age restriction on riders. FIM Superstock 1000 motorcycles were allowed modifications more aimed at safety and crash survivability/repairability than outright performance such as fiberglass silhouette bodywork with fluid retention capabilities and improved hand and foot controls. FIM Superstock 1000 motorcycles were allowed performance modifications such as brake pads and discs, chaindrive systems, exhaust systems, fork internals and rear shock absorbers.

=Sporting regulations=

At his inception, the series was restricted to riders aged from 16 to 24; the upper limit was raised to 26 in 2011,{{cite news|url=http://www.worldsbk.com/en/news/2011/STK+1000+FIM+Cup+entry+plays+numbers+game|title=STK 1000 FIM Cup entry plays numbers game|work=worldsbk.com|publisher=Dorna WSBK|date=11 April 2011|access-date=29 July 2015}} and to 28 in 2015.{{cite news|url=http://www.worldsbk.com/en/news/2014/Decision+of+the+Superbike+Commision|title=Decision of the Superbike Commission|work=worldsbk.com|publisher=Dorna WSBK|date=9 October 2014|access-date=29 July 2015}}

The points system was the same for the riders' championship and the manufacturers' championship, but only the highest-finishing motorcycle by a particular manufacturer was awarded the points for the latter championship.
