I called the other local Suzuki dealer but same story, not a stock item.
Mine broke right at 12,000 miles on a 4 year old bike. Anybody know what's typical for these cables? Should I go ahead and order new cables for everything while I'm at it? Any advice appreciated, I have no idea what a normal replacement interval is for these cables.

Not sure what the life is, probably depends on use, care (Lubing), service climate.... I just ordered a full set of cables (Clutch, both throttle cables, rear brake and start cable (Choke/enricher). Gonna replace the throttle cable and rear brake, and oil and bag up the old ones for an emergency backup. Mines an '03, so they have to be due.
