Chain noise, jerks while accelerating and uneven power delivery are clear signs that your Yamaha FZ V2 150cc needs a complete chain & sprocket replacement, not just a new chain. The Rolon KIT HBSXR 228 is a model-specific chain & sprocket kit developed exclusively for the Yamaha FZ V2 150 FI (150cc) – the same application confirmed in Rolon’s official kit catalog and multiple dealer listings.
This kit uses a Rolon R428HBSXR heavy-duty chain (128 links) matched to a 14-tooth front sprocket and 41-tooth rear sprocket – the correct OE-equivalent gearing (128-14-41) used on the FZ V2 platform. That means you restore the bike’s stock pickup, smoothness and reliability without experimenting with random tooth counts or local duplicate kits.
Rolon is one of India’s best-known chain drive brands and an OEM supplier to major manufacturers, so you get precise fitment, hardened steel sprockets and a correctly matched chain, engineered for Indian road conditions.
Buying from Under The Hood (Varanasi) gives you the added assurance of 100% genuine Rolon stock, careful packing, quick dispatch and advice from people who actually wrench on bikes every day. Pair this kit with a good chain cleaner and lube from our store for maximum life, whether you commute daily, tour with luggage or ride spirited weekend runs.

Installation & Maintenance Notes
-
Have the kit installed by a trained mechanic to ensure correct alignment, rear axle torque and chain slack.
-
Always set chain slack as per the Yamaha FZ V2 owner’s manual; incorrect tension (too tight or too loose) will shorten chain and sprocket life.
-
Clean the chain regularly using a dedicated chain cleaner (avoid harsh petrol/kerosene that strip lubrication).
-
Lubricate the chain with a good quality motorcycle chain lube every 500–700 km or earlier in rain / dusty conditions.
-
Replace chain kit immediately if you notice tight spots, excessive play, hooked sprocket teeth or rust, rather than only changing the chain alone.
-
After installation of a new kit, re-check chain slack after the first 150–200 km as the chain beds in.
FAQs
Q1. Will Rolon KIT HBSXR 228 fit my Yamaha FZ-S V2 or FZ V3?
A. No. KIT HBSXR 228 is catalogued specifically for Yamaha FZ V2 150 FI. FZ-S and FZ V3 / V4 use different Rolon kits with different chain/sprocket combinations, so using HBSXR 228 on those models is not recommended.
Q2. What are the exact specs of this Rolon kit?
A. The FZ V2 application is widely listed as 128-link R428 chain with 14-tooth front and 41-tooth rear sprockets. In Rolon’s ecosystem this corresponds to an R428HBSXR heavy-duty chain, front 14T sprocket and 41T rear sprocket for the FZ V2 hub pattern.
Q3. Is this kit better than a local chain and sprocket set?
A. Yes. Rolon is a well-known Indian brand and an OEM supplier. Compared to unbranded local kits, you get better hardness control, more accurate tooth profiles and consistent chain quality, which translates into smoother drive, less noise and longer life when maintained properly.
Q4. Will changing to this kit affect my mileage or top speed?
A. No – this kit keeps the stock gearing (14T/41T) for the FZ V2, so there’s no change in overall ratio. If your old chain was badly worn or skipping, you may actually feel smoother acceleration and more consistent mileage after replacement.
Q5. How do I confirm it’s genuine Rolon and not a duplicate?
A. Genuine kits carry Rolon branding, kit code (KIT HBSXR 228) and batch/MRP details on the box. Under The Hood sources directly from authorised distributors and cross-verifies kit codes against Rolon’s official price list and catalogs, so you’re getting original parts – not loose local assemblies.
