The "motor" itself should not be lubricated. It needs friction to work. The only part I would consider lubricating are the bearing hole of the two sprockets.

As far as the vibrating motor goes, is there any suggestions on maintenance? I managed to get it unstuck and moving, just wondering if there's any further lubrication or perhaps spraying it with tuner cleaner etc. Also how do the two roller wires attach to the motor wire correctly? Someone just had it rigged together. Is there a special connector or something that join the three wires together underneath the frame? Pictures are good. Smile Thanks for any help.
