hi i did my Indonesia tour last year. Start from Sumatera island to Java island then shipped the bike to Kalimantan - borneo via surabaya port to Pontianak i ride to Indonesia border Entikong-tepedu. it took almost 1 half day sailing across java sea to pontianak with a big ferry...cant remember how much it cost but it willnot cut throat charges. The bike and passenger have a different fare and the ship come with a room and a single bed. Crossing the border willtake u at least 8 hours from pontianak (my bike is 125cc) and the road condition is something like Luang phrabang-to Vientienne (laos) just that is not crossing the mountain. The custom gate will closed at 6pm Indonesia time..if u cant make the will be a few guest house at Entikong border. Pass thru the custom at entikong side will be a lot of question as they dont really know about the carnet as u have to show them what to do, but there is no problem on malaysia side custom as they know and they will ask u for the carnet....goodluck
