I noticed this morning the one cover is split entirely and the other feels like it's on the way out too. No issues with the the throttle operation as of yet and the cable itself isn't fraying or anything so I'm not super concerned other than not riding in the rain like this but am thinking of the best way to fix. I assume replacing the cables requires removing the tank, correct? I could take it to the dealership but who knows how much that would cost. Might have to purchase the cable from them even if I try and do it myself because I couldn't find a way to buy them online.
Thoughts?

I have been researching this for a while, without much luck until recently. I spent the 65 bucks on the factory manual and even then, it's hard to find as it's not in the relatively cheesy index. Anyway, it's covered under the "fuel system" chapter(pgs. 5-88 to 5-93). First, you take off the gas tank, which actually isn't hard. Then you remove the front and rear air cleaner housings, which gives you access to the throttle cables which are located in the center of the throttle body. I found the cables on motosports.com for $26.92 each.
