118 front, 120 rear is the general consensus.

That should be good.

I went with 118/115 and also have good results, even when switching between a Yamamoto system and a stock system.

I think the 118/120 on a loud system would be good.

Maybe a dumb question but you did remove the screw that holds the cable into the drive unit. If cable is ok then drive unit may be the problem. There is a plastic coupling in the drive unit that connects to the sprocket nut that may have broken.

Should pull straight out, might have become locked-in with dirt/corrosion etc.
