Motorcycle Repair: 2001 Honda 750 ACE, honda 750 ace, silicone grease

Question
Do I have to dismount the motor to change the O rings on the water tube that links the two cylinders, or is there another way? I have a small coolant leak between the front and back cylinders.

Answer
John, have a look at this page:

WATER PIPE illustrations. The water pipes are bolted onto the engine, so once the bolt is removed, the water pipes can be moved up and down enough for removal and the change of the O-rings. Make sure everything is VERY clean and put some silicone grease/spray on the O-rings, so they can move into place without catching an edge on any adjacent parts.
