While browsing the web yesterday i found one interesting engine for sale and would like to buy it.
Seller says, that it is Takegawa 124+R crate engine, which means it should have Takegawa cases aswell, but he tells that there is no Takegawa sign on cases.
I post some pictures here and maybe You can say by that if these are or are not Takegawa cases. Also the countershaft doesnt look like standard Honda ones look like.



 
I dont think it is a Takegawa transmission. I dont think takegawa uses a stock trans splin count on there aftermarket trans. I have a Takegawa 5 speed in mine and it uses the larger China style shaft with fewer teeth. Only way to know is to ask someone else who has the 3 speed.. But looks like a stock trans to me...
 
I had a takegawa 3-speed and it had the stock style splines, i think the 3-speed uses the stock output shaft and changes the input and gears, so if its a 3speed with takegawa special clutch, it COULD be the take trans.
 
dont fortget that the cylinder/head could be bad also if the valves smashed the piston. Other than that its probably a good engine. But im not sure if its worth it, when you have to buy that many parts and you dont know how the other parts is.
 
The Taky and Kitaco CRF50 3 speed close ratios run standard CRF50 spline, 4 5 6 speeds use Monkey spline which the Chinese adopted. Trans shaft and gears will be laser etched with part numbers and/or logo. Not sure why this guy bothered to assemble without the countershaft seal. Takegawa cases (old and new) are serial numbered. Head looks genuine, clutch cover as well. Daytona 54mm cranks are prone to failure.
 
Dont think its takegawa agin then. Takegawa uses a 50mm crank for there 115cc setup and a 54mm crank for there 124. Does Daytona make a 54mm crank..
I think they did on the 125. My pitster RS125 is suppose to be the same thing. The con rod says "Made in Japan" 54X54 Just going by what i was told but that wat the rod says.
