Technically you should not hone a plated cylinder. What you can do is clean up with a scotch brite pad. Reason is that hone or even ball hone can chip the plating at the ports, and the ports will need to be chamfered after any work is performed in the jug. Can be a PITA. So, before you run off half cocked make sure what you have is:
1) original
2) size bore for next size piston
3) any other items that will be needed along the way.
With any old bike it is best to get it running sweet first, then run through suspension performance, than cosmetic looks.
Carry on, I wont bore you any further.
