You cant 'yank a cylnder' on these bikes I'm afraid
Only the heads
The cylinders are part of the main casting
I'd pull the head first and check the valves this will also allow you to take a look at the pistons and cylinder walls
If you wish to then remove the pistons, you'll have to remove the front cover and undo the
big ends and pull the pistons and rods out of the top.
36 thou sounds a bit soon to have to renew rings though
If its been laid up since 92 the lack of 'percieved' suction may be due to sticky carb pistons but sticking my hand over the inlet is not a method of diagnosis I'd have a lot of faith in.
