Throttle cable on my Tenere snapped today (luckily in Sandton) at about 19000 km and the clutch cable snapped about 3000 km ago in Namibia.

My bike has heavily modified front end - WP forks with KTM tripple clamps, Renthal handle bar and bar raisers - so I was wandering if that may contribute? When I turned handlebars both sides to max there seemed to be no interaction with throttle, but I still wander if the cables may be too short for the modifications.

Did tho happen to any other Tenere owner around here - especially the ones who have handlebar raisers? And do you know where could I get longer cables for Tenere?
