Perhaps a deviation to the "flat tire" scam mentioned above. My wife and I drove to Semeti beach and were met by two locals, one of whom claimed he was the custodian of the beach. Chatted with them for an hour, then went for a 30 minute hike. When we returned and tried to start our bike, the battery was dead. In the end, the two local guys sold us the battery from one of their bikes for Rp500,000, claiming a new one would cost them Rp700,000. We were in a bind as there was nobody else there and it was a long way to the main road, in the rain, and we certainly didn't want to leave the rented bike behind. So we paid up. When we got back to Kuta, discovered that a new battery is only Rp200,000. Based on this information, we believe that these guys did something to the bike to drain the battery so they could sell us theirs for a greatly inflated price.
The take away here is to keep your bike in sight at all times while at Semeti Beach.

Semeti Beach is one of tourism object located in south Lombok. It is very close to Mawi Beach. Entrance fee for motorcycle it was 5.000 idr, by Car 10.000 idr. From central of Kuta Lombok just take 30 minute ride scooter. When you visit to this place must be carefully cause the road access little a bit bumpy. A long the way to Semeti you will passing the Corn plantation own by some ordinary Man. The beach of Semeti little a bit quiet but the atmosphere was so peaceful with not so many visitor come to here.

We don't know for sure if this was a scam, but it definitely seems like it:
Parked motorbike at Semeti Beach for a stroll on the beach. Everything was fine at this time. Came back 30 minutes later and local guy was now very friendly. When we got on the motorbike to leave, local guy says that we have a flat tire (nothing we noticed on the way here). He insists on taking our motorbike up to the village to fix it. We suggested that we follow him on his motorbike to save some time, but that was not possible because he said his friend might come and grab the food that was inside his bike (friend never came during the 30 min we waited). Local guy finally came back with the fixed motorbike (he probably just filled more air in the tire), saying it costed 350.000 to get it done. We have fixed flat tires in Bali before and it was not even 100.000. So, we gave him the 350.000 and of course some extra for his effort. IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU - make the effort to take the bike yourself up to the main road, take a right turn and you'll soon have a shop on the left that will help you get it fixed.
