You should be able to replace the clutch cable in a few minutes with the tools in the stock toolkit. The throttle cables take a bit longer.

I looked at my clutch cable last week and noticed a bunch of the plastic liner poking out at the clutch end. Ordered a new one yesterday.

Happy trails.

Edit: New cable arrived 7-30 . Went to install it and found that the knob on the lever end was only hanging on by 3 strands of wire! Didn't get that very last mile out of it but came so close.
