squirt some into the cylinders, fill the crank with oil and use the kickstarter to circulate the oil before you try to start it.

Basically, to seat the rings, you don't want to cruise at a steady speed or RPM for long periods of time. Vary your speed and RPMs, and do lots of engine braking. Engine braking puts lots of pressure on the backs of the rings, forcing them into the cylinder wall and seating them. Don't baby it but don't beat on it either.
