This is the genuine Rolon brass-plated chain + sprocket kit made for Yamaha R15 V3 / V4 / R15M riders who want a cleaner, smoother and more corrosion-resistant replacement.
Stock-style gearing (14T/48T) with 428 chain (128 links)—ideal when your bike starts feeling jerky or noisy due to worn sprockets/chain.
Packed and shipped by Under The Hood with fitment support.
DESCRIPTION
If your R15 has started giving chain slap, khat-khat sound, tight spots, jerks on low speed, or a “rough pickup” feel—most of the time it’s not just the chain… it’s the chain + both sprockets wearing together. This Rolon kit solves that the correct way: replace all 3 as a set.
KIT NMRC F326 is a Rolon brass-plated chain & sprocket set designed for Yamaha R15 V3 / R15 V4 / R15M fitment. The chain uses brass plating on the link plates to improve rust resistance and surface protection—a big advantage in Indian rain/wash conditions, where standard chains start looking brown quickly.
The sprockets are matched to the chain and supplied in the common R15 setup of 14T front + 48T rear, with 128 links chain length (428 pitch).
Best for: daily city riding + highway pulls + weekend rides—where you want smoothness and consistent drive rather than “race-only” compromises. Buy from Under The Hood to get authentic sourcing, clean packing, and pre-purchase fitment checks (rear hub pattern + front spline).

Always replace chain + both sprockets together (prevents premature wear).
-
Before fitting, confirm: 14T front spline match + rear 6-hole PCD pattern.
-
Set chain slack strictly as per Yamaha manual; avoid over-tight chain (kills bearings).

FAQ
Q1. Will this Rolon NMRC F326 fit my Yamaha R15 V4 (BS6)?
Yes—this kit is listed for R15 V4
Q2. Is this a stock replacement or an upgrade?
It’s primarily a stock-style replacement with a durability-focused benefit: brass-plated link plates for better corrosion resistance.
Q3. Is it actually brass, or just gold-colored?
The chain plates are described as brass plated (not “solid brass”). That’s the functional point—surface protection against rust.
Q4. What are the exact teeth counts and chain links?
Front 14T, rear 48T, chain 128 links.
Q5. Will it reduce chain noise and jerks?
If your current set is worn (hooked sprockets / tight spots), a new matched kit usually restores smoothness—provided alignment and slack are set correctly.
Q6. How long will this kit last?
Depends heavily on riding + cleaning/lube routine. Brass plating helps against rust, but mileage life cannot be guaranteed; maintain it properly for best results.
Q7. Do I need to change cush rubbers (rear hub dampers) too?
If you feel excessive play/jerk even with correct slack, worn cush rubbers are common on many bikes. Not included in this kit—inspect during fitment.
Q8. Can I install this at home?
Possible, but not recommended unless you have proper tools for alignment, torque, and chain riveting/link handling. Incorrect setup causes noise + rapid wear.
