Edit: I am an indiot and forgot you weren't from the US so I removed my comments about your grammar. Sorry  :(

I think you are asking if a steel sleeve is a good option or should you get your cylinder re-plated? If you race, I would avoid a sleeve. Plated cylinders dissipate heat better than steel sleeves and resist wear longer. If you are just a play rider and know somebody that is willing to do the work of boring your cylinder and pressing in the sleeve cheaply, a sleeve will get the job done. I've used them but now days if I have the money I try to get them repaired/replated. That is just my opinion of course.

Iron liners in nicasil cylinders is my pet hate. It is very shoddy advice. The engine cooling is not designed to handle the extra heat the sleeve retains and pings whenever it's hot. Plate and never worry again

x2 they do an excellent job on cylinders.  You cant go wrong with them.  Do not get a sleeve.
