Boring to 0.5 mm oversize is a little cheaper. New o/s pistons are $30 each.
In all cases, you'll need new rings which are also about $30 each set. I can say that because if your cylinders are worn out, so are your rings.

In my case, I have new pistons and rings, standard size, already paid for last year, so no expense there. If it was possible to do the resleeve at home and get the deck machined after fitting, that would have been the way I would go.
I didn't realise heat was required for this, was hoping a simple push out the old and push in the new.
It seems that .5mm oversize pistons aren't available (genuine at least) as mine have been on back order since june last year.
For a cheap bike it is a lot of fun and though costing money in upkeep, it is getting me to work and back without taking my other bike there being destroyed by the crap in the air out there. Money can be justified on a work commuter.
