If your plans are really that flexible, have you thought about spending your 4 months riding to say Laos or Cambodia and storing your bike there for a while? Go back home at that stage to catch your breath - maybe even earn a little extra money - then return (no doubt, with some essential spare parts!) and pick-up where you left off, getting the timing right to avoid the rainy season(s) all the way down to Sydney?
Just a thought.

I definitively agree with you that Indonesia is something that should not be missed when travelling in that part of the world. But considering TS timeframe and time of year travelling its not doable within TS limitations.
And a good advise and suggestion to leave the bike a while in Asia and continue travel at a later stage. Cambodia should be a good country to store a bike for a while since they dont seem to have any temporary import thing or other kinds of registration of foreign vehicles going into or out of the country. Laos and Thailand have both 30 days temporary import.
