As for the clutch cable, I always run two cables aside, so when first cable breaks I peel off the crymping flex of the ends of the spare cable and mount it in each end. Voila.

Next time service or close to workshop, I order a new clutch cable.

Throtle cable is a bit more complex to change as the bike possible would need a motor control anyway, so I don't have two cables running aside of these anyway.

Going to the Alps in a couple of weeks for my first "big" tour on the MTS. I have planned to take with me a 6" adjustable,screw driver with changeable ends, Leathermans, tie wraps and gaffer tape.
I let you know if I was short of anything...
