Is the cylinder scored? Is there a ridge at the top that you can catch with a fingernail? If no, then you might not need to bore the cylinder. Just buy a cylinder hone (meant for an automotive master cylinder) and hone it as is. Install new rings and gaskets and enjoy the bike.

It's rare to need to bore a motorcycle cylinder, until there are several thousand miles on it.
