But I would recommend periodic replacement of the cable as a part of maintenance. When I examined the cable, it just pulled out, no damage. Would also carry that cable as a back-up on a long road trip.
I live in Florida with a lot of moisture and condensation. I would ride in the woods on weekends, with an occasional hare scramble or enduro. When checking the lube on any of the cables, always found a sticky and gummy mess. The shop that I hung around found out that the 'professional' racing teams were using 'motor oil' as their cable lubricant. I started using motor oil as a cable lubricant on my dirt bikes. After that, no cruddy build up on cables, seems to work fine.
I wish I had lubed my cable on this bike, maybe it would not have pulled loose.
