Motul 4t is the best oil to use in minis, no matter if it's a big dollar crf or the cheapest ebay shitbox you can find...
cheap and nasty as your bike may be, do the initial set up on it properly, maintain it, and dont use it for something it's not designed for, and you'll get plenty of use from it.

I use castrol activ 4t, good oil/good price

1)just load the engine heaps without revving it out completely, accelerate hard all the way into fourth then engine brake all the back to second without compression locking it, then accelerate hard all the way up, repeat etc.
dump the oil after an hour or so of this and check the valve clearance.
2)then just ride the thing, load it hard, use engine braking as much as possible. don't worry about it too much just have fun and don't thrash it, but don't granny it either. dump the oil and check the valves again after 2 hours. repeat #2

*waits for someone to come along say that's not how it's done*

edit: almost forgot, after you start it up for the first time ride it around for 5mins to get the temp up, then let it cool down completely. then let it cool down completely after about 30min ride.

yep that is the best break in read up ever.. i came across that a year or so ago.

but basically you break an engine in the same way you plan on riding it..
