When entering Chile, you get a sheet with the motorcycle details and an expiration date, usually 3 months. The bike has to leave the country within that time. It is possible to get an extension for up to 8 months altogether. You need to apply to the regional customs office (should be Arica or Iquique in the north)and give them a good reason (like a letter from a doctor).
Don´t try to overstay, a Swiss biker was put into jail because Customs falsely thought he had left the country without his bike on a trip before (He didn´t, but Costums made a mistake in their files, where all foreign vehicles are monitored).
good luck
