Took my 2005 XB9 out for a short ride today. Going down the freeway and I noticed that someone had installed cruise control on my bike. Funny, I don't recall letting anyone work on my bike lately? Hmm... Got her home and opened her up. Found the top throttle cable frayed. Damage located at throttle body portion of cable. Question. How difficult is it to replace? And should I replace the lower cable as well?

These cables are easy to replace.
I'd do them both at the same time due to cable stretch.
