Need a lot more info before deciding that a rebore will solve your problems.

1st - Is the powervalve working :?: . - Find out if you don't know.

A compression test is a far more accurate way of ascertaining bore and piston condition, there are far to many other things that could contribute to the symptom you described, such as, gearing, jetting, filter, plug, exhaust condition, etc.etc.
Fairly certain that this has been covered in the past, have a look on the search facility.
