Souk, FWIW I have owned, rode and raced minibikes/3-wheelers/ATV's/dirt bikes/streetbikes my entire life and I have always simply used 10W40 regular oil off the shelf of autoparts stores in the crankcases/gearboxs of ALL of them. I have NEVER had an oil related failure of any kind in any of them.

My latest "favorite" non synthetic oil is Rotella 15w40 (I have been putting it in my 911 and my tractors), but I would not be worried in the least to run any of my bikes/atv's with cheap no name gas station 10w40.
