it for 25,000 per day.
We try to not use the petrol in the bottles as we need our bike serviced more often but if you have to just do it once and then next time use a Pertimina (they are everywhere now). Petrol today is 4500 at a Pertimina (just watch them put it in as they can cheat you). Petrol in the bottles is at 5000 today.
As the other poster said, you must have a motorcycle licence in your own country, then you need to get an international licence with motcycle stamped in it. If you don't carry an international licence they will fine you. You can get one here, but easier to get one before eyou leave home.
Make sure you put the chin strap on the helmets at all times as they can fine you for that as well.
And please, please follow the road rules, just as you would back home and you will be fine. Although the road rules here slightly differ, I did write them out recently, link below
Mind you, Q15 on the written test for my 1 year licence Bali car licence last month was a little interesting (not my spelling errors, as written):
Q.15 If you are involved in a Fatal, what do you do:
a. Leave accident and change your number plate and your identity so police cannot find you.
b. Take body to your house and hide it
c. Report accident to police immediately
No, I was not stuck on which answer but it did take me a minute to control my laughter.
