You need to have an Australian Drivers License specifically endorsed to ride a motorcycle before you can get a International Drivers License endorsed to ride a motorcycle.
Some Australian States allow car drivers to ride mororcycles less than 50cc. This means nothing in Indonesia, where all motorcyclists need a license (Rebewes).
Riding a motorcycle in Indonesia without the right license means that you will have to pay a bribe (pungli). There are frequent polce road blocks in Kuta where all riders have to show their license.
Australian travel insurance polices will not cover riding a motorcycle without a license.
