Use at least a 40 watt iron, and don't forget to tin the solder tabs on the motor as well as the wires. To tin the motor tabs put the tip on the tab and have the solder melt onto the tab and not the iron itself. Also make sure that the tabs on the motor are clean before you try to solder to it.

Try roughening up the surface where you are trying to solder onto.
I can solder my motor wire easily with just a 30watt iron.
