Unless you've had a problem with either of them, I'd say nothing.

My 04 clutch cable has 50k on it and nothing has been done.

OEM with the inner liner being a slick plastic.

Now your question would be more specific if you mentioned miles on bike and if that clutch cable is going to a hydraulic slave cylinder.

Throttle by wire. It works or it don't

You're right. I should have added more specifics. 2012 ultra with 60k miles and no hydraulic clutch
