I have not ever heard about a ferry on that stretch. And I have travelled a good bit in that area and have friends living on Java. There might be one even though I dont know of course...
I think your possibilities are:
1. Shipping with Mr Lim vegetable boat from Penang to Belawan. Mr Lim is very experienced and have done this many hundred times so no frills. And then ride across Sumatra and cross over to Java.
2. Take the passenger ferry from Port Klang to Dumai (or nearby locations, sorry I dont remember the exact locations) Should be ok but a little more hassle with paperwork I have heard and very broad motorbikes such sa BMW 1200 GS with boxer engine is reported to not fit through the entrance of the ferry.
3. Take a roro ship to Borneo, cross into indonesian Borneo (Kalimantan) and from one of the west coast towns there are ferries to different locations on Jawa such as Surabaya, Semarang.
