Well they couldn't have routed it more complicated and tightly if they'd tried. Looks like most of the bike has to come apart to fit it :eek
Quite a few bikes are like this now especially later types with bodywork. I just change the the inner cable were possible. Cut off the upper feral on the old cable pull it out, solder the end of a new inner cable, push it through and solder the ends on. Obviously I've got the cable and fittings to do it and you've got to use the correct solder electrical wont do, you need silver solder.
You can most times (if it's not too late) secure the new cable outer to the old and pull it through still a faff but better than stripping.
