I had a local machine shop bore and hone out the cylinder. I ordered a new piston, rings, gaskets and many other OEM parts. I had some time off over Christmas so I put the bike back together again. It sounds so much better,and is much snappier, I have been taking my time breaking the motor in and my kids are excited to start riding the bike again. Only time will tell how well I did but so far it has been a success and I will be riding it to work when the weather lines out.
