The above answer is correct providing you have a cylinder that already has a sleeve. For those that are plated or electrofused the cylinder would have to be bored first and then a new steel liner "sweated" in and the ports ground to match the cylinder. The cylinder will then have to be bored to bring it into specs. Yes, even a new sleeve must be bored.
Your best bet is to have a local machine shop handle this. They do it every day. Unless you have a boring bar this is not a home repair.

--Place the cylinder on a hot plate or put it in an oven.
--When the cylinder heats up, the aluminum expands faster than the sleeve. The sleeve just slides out.
--Slide the new sleeve in.
--The ports have to be lined up perfictly.
--Let the cylinder cool down
--Champher the cylinder's ports.
--Mill the head.
This is not a job for a beginner.

All depends on the bike. A lot of the manuals are online.
