How to get a motorcycle licence in Kuala Lumpur.

Learning from Scratch:

If you are learning to ride a Motorcycle for the 1st time in Malaysia, it is easier to obtain a motorcyle licence (Class B2) if you already have a Malaysian driving licence (class D).
If you only have a foreign driving licence you will need to:
1. Convert foreign driving licence to Malaysian driving licence
2. Take Motorcycle lessons and sit theory and practical test
3. You will first carry L plates and on passing your practical test you will carry P plates
4. P plates recognise you as a competent motorcyclist and you can carry another passenger

You can take lessons at Metro Driving School: http://www.metrodriving.com.my/

For more details on the process, prices and how long it will take have a look here:

Already ride motor cycles:

If you already have a foreign Motorcycle Licence and have held it for 2 years then you can convert this into a Malaysian Motorcycle Licence.

Where:
This is done by contacting the Licencing office at Putrajaya, the administrative capital, which lies on the way to the KLIA Airport. Trains run there from KL Sentral and take about 20 minutes.
Address and phone details here:
Licencing Office

How:
How this is done varies according to which ever country you are from. Have a look at the link below for
more comprehensive information.
Converting Motorcycle Licence

If you do not have a driving licence or are not able to convert your currrent driving licence, then you will need to cover both motorcycle theory and practical tests and take lessons for a motorcycle licence.
