Where checkpoints appear, what is asked for, and the three things that turn a two-minute stop into a problem.
Roadside checks are a normal part of riding in Bali. They are predictable, they are not personal, and they are quick when your documents are in order.
Checkpoints are set up on main roads rather than back lanes, most often during the morning, and they tend to reappear in the same places. The busier the tourist area, the more likely you are to meet one. Each of our area pages notes where riders report them locally.

The registration document, which comes with the scooter at delivery. Keep it under the seat rather than in a pocket.
On and fastened, for rider and passenger. An unfastened strap counts as no helmet.
This is the single most common reason a check turns into a fine. It is also the one thing you can settle entirely before you leave home.
Two helmets come with every booking through us for exactly this reason. There is no version of this where the helmet is optional.

Traffic is slow, everyone overtakes on both sides, and the horn means something different. What to expect in your first hours.
The scratch dispute has three versions and one weakness. Film the scooter before you ride it, and keep your passport.
