Clutch and brake cable, yes, sure, because they take a lot of stress.

Throttle and choke cables almost NEVER fail by breaking.....unless they are severly neglected and they rust in two. Changing them routinely is overkill.
Thanks for the advice on the throttle and choke. I knew the choke was overkill (Especially since on 50 degree plus days, I haven't needed to use it much at all since the valve adjustment and carb clean...If it were to snap, would the 'default' for the enricher be off, i wonder?) and the throttles were more a case of swapping the new ones in as a preventative. I'll just put the new ones in the bottom of the tank bag on longer rides and keep lubing the old ones.
