The ABC has obtained the incident report from Badung police, giving a timeline before the scooter, ridden by the two Australians, crashed head-on into a car.
The report said the incident happened at 4:30am, local time, on a "straight, two-lane asphalt district road".
"[There was] an unobstructed view, [it was] clear weather, early morning," the report said.
"The Yamaha Nmax driver overtook the vehicle in front of him, turning right across the roadway without noticing the Honda Mobilio driver … travelling in the opposite direction/in his lane, resulting in a collision/accident."

The report said Mr Black was driving the Yamaha scooter, and that he suffered a "severe head injury" and died at the scene.
The report said Ms Baillie suffered facial abrasions, bleeding from the ear and was taken to BIMC Sunset Road Hospital.
Neither Mr Black nor Ms Baillie had travel insurance.
An online fundraising page has since been set up, raising more than $50,000 for Ms Baillie's medical care.
The family is seeking to bring Ms Baillie home.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade issued a statement, saying officials were offering support.
"The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is providing consular assistance to the families of an Australian who died and an Australian injured in Bali," the statement read.
