Mario Kart GP Force Feedback Motor

Whats up guys? I've asked this question on Klov but have not received an answer. Pinball people usually come through for me, so here goes. Question is that I replaced a dead force feedback motor with a new one on my Mario Kart GP's. I've read the manual to see if the motor needs to be lubricated, but didn't see anything. The motor didn't come with instructions, nor were any listed on the product page on Suzo Happ site. I don't want to fire it up if something needs done to lubricate. Does anyone know if I need to anything or am I good to go to play the game. I just don't want to burn up a new motor since they aren't cheap. Any info is appreciated.

I got the Mario Karts from Coin Op Warehouse. That was the first time I saw them at Coin Op. I believe they came from a Barcade somewhere. They are very large and I had to have a double door installed to fit them in my game room. That just opens up the possibility of larger games now since the opening is now 48". I'm running out of room down there!

They seem to pop up here and there on some pinball and arcade Facebook groups and on Craigslist. They seem to be priced around $2500 for a single game with pairs usually for sale around $4500-$5000, usually they seem to be way overpriced

Are they new?

Is it worth buying them new or better off looking for used ones?

New a pair is 21k with freight. So buy used I assume they are 25% of that.

Yes I've bought a bunch new. They are too expensive and can still only be linked to 4. I was promised a while back it would be 8 but they never came through on that.
