New CB-1 Owner From Malaysia.

[MI]

Hi,
I am from Malaysia and just got myself a 1989 CB-1. The bike is not in good shape, 3 years not in running condition. I found this bike covered in a someone's garage. Went up to him just to check what bike it was. End up buying the bike from him. Well this is what she looks like when i bought her.

.. and my favorite...

the trademark!

After getting it to my friends workshop and comparing to the workshop manual, i found out that everything is in OEM state. However, fuel line, fuel tank clogged and need to change to a new fuel pump. Changed those, serviced carb, changed motor oil, oil filter and etc-etc... and managed to get it run. phew!! Now. i'm in the process of getting her a new look.
Will post pictures when completes.

It is great to have this forum to learn and share experiences.
Thanx.

The pics of my race bike were linked to another CB-1 website that is no longer available.  I will take some more pics soon and figure out how to post them.  LOL

I got some questions about cb-1 (being i am the only one here in southern malaysia that owns a cb-1).

1. Is there any power cut on a japanese production cb-1?
2. Have anyone experience tankslap on CB-1? I have experienced tankslap before on my CBR900RRW (taking corner about 120mph and hit a bump) thank god it eventually diminished off itself. Would not like to experience it again.. on my CB-1.
3. What the topspeed on a stock CB-1?

Thanx
