I just wanted to share this because I've been looking for an answer on and off for months. Plagued by a really rough E61 lever I've finally found the resolution.
After pulling apart the E61 group of my VBM Junior, checking and lubricating to no avail I finally stumbled across a post on another forum where someone with a Rocket had a similar issue. Another member suggested checking the microswitch which is activated by the lever and putting a tiny bit of food grade lube on the microswitch post.
Eureka!! Finally, silky smooth lever movement.
I can't believe something so small was the fix.
Happy brewing!
