If your R15’s chain has started rattling, jerking or rusting, it’s time to retire the tired stock set and move to a proper performance kit. The Rolon KIT NMR F311 is a factory-spec M-Ring sealed chain & sprocket kit built specifically for Yamaha R15 V3, R15 V4 and R15 M 155cc. Using a 428 pitch, 128-link sealed chain with a 14T front and 48T rear sprocket, it matches OEM gearing while dramatically improving smoothness, service life and reliability.
Rolon is one of India’s leading OE suppliers, and this kit is listed in the official Rolon catalog and by multiple premium retailers for the R15 platform, with the same 14/48/128 specification. The M-Ring sealed design keeps lubricant in and dirt out, cutting chain noise and stretch on high-revving 155cc VVA engines.
Whether you commute daily, hit weekend twisties or tour with luggage, this kit delivers smoother power delivery, fewer adjustments and lower long-term running costs compared to cheap local chain sets.
When you buy from Under The Hood (Varanasi), you get 100% genuine Rolon stock, expert packing, WhatsApp support for fitment, and the option to get this kit installed at our studio along with chain lube and inspection. No duplicates, no confusion—just a correctly geared, super-smooth R15.

FAQs
Q1. Will KIT NMR F311 fit my Yamaha R15 V3?
Yes. This kit is designed specifically around the R15 V3 155cc with 428 pitch chain, 14T front and 48T rear sprockets, matching the OE gearing and hub pattern.
Q2. Does it also fit R15 V4 and R15 M?
Yes. Multiple catalog and dealer listings sell KIT NMR F311 as a Rolon chain kit for R15 V3/V4/M 150 with the same 14/48/128 specification. As long as your bike uses the stock sprocket sizes and hub, it is a direct fit.
Q3. Is this better than the stock Yamaha chain set?
Functionally it matches OEM gearing but uses Rolon’s M-Ring sealed chain and hardened sprockets, giving better lubrication retention, reduced stretch, smoother running and typically longer life than many stock or local “open” chains when maintained correctly.
Q4. Will changing to this kit affect my mileage or top speed?
No. Because the tooth count and chain pitch are the same as stock, there is no change in final drive ratio, so mileage and top speed remain similar. Reduced friction from the sealed chain can even make the bike feel slightly smoother.
Q5. Is this a genuine Rolon product or a local duplicate?
Under The Hood sources all Rolon kits directly from authorised distributors. The kit comes in original Rolon packaging with printed part number NMR F311, holograms and manufacturer details, so you’re protected against fakes.
Q6. Do I need any extra parts or modifications?
No additional parts are required on stock bikes. We recommend installing with fresh chain adjuster grease and checking the condition of chain sliders and sprocket-carrier dampers; replace if badly worn for best results.
