[0018] Further, the modular connector ring, shell and gasket are made of lightweight high-strength materials, such as aluminum alloy or carbon fiber reinforced composite materials.

[0019] Further, the hole positions and vertical conduits are symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the connector ring and the shell, so that the load is uniformly transmitted to the gasket and the shell.

[0020] Further, the lock nut of the safety locking mechanism is threadedly connected with the screw, and the spring washer is located between the nut and the shell to provide continuous pre-tightening force.

[0021] Further, the gasket has a standardized thickness, and the single-piece thickness is 5mm, 10mm or 15mm.

[0046] The complete replacement of the suspension unit is costly, the installation process is complicated and inefficient. Each adjustment requires the purchase and installation of a new suspension unit, which cannot be quickly adjusted and is not suitable for riders who frequently change motorcycle configurations or load conditions.

[0047] The telescopic or threaded adjustment suspension system has limited precision, and the adjustment increment is not standardized, making it difficult to fine-tune the suspension. At the same time, there is a lack of reliable locking mechanism, which may cause accidental displacement or instability problems under dynamic or heavy load conditions.

[0048] Other problems of existing suspension systems

[0049] Uneven load distribution can cause stress concentration, accelerating the wear and even failure of parts.

[0050] It is not easy to adjust the suspension length to adapt to different motorcycle models, load conditions or riding styles. Riders often need to replace the entire suspension unit or make complex modifications, which is time-consuming and expensive, and requires professional tools and techniques.

[0051] There is a lack of effective locking mechanism, which cannot be stably maintained after adjustment, and there are safety hazards under different loads and dynamic conditions.

[0052] The existing design cannot provide a universal adaptation solution, and different motorcycle configurations require different suspension systems, increasing complexity and cost. In combination with actual use, this problem is obviously a real problem and is relatively difficult to solve. Therefore, to solve this technical problem, an adjustable suspension mechanism for a motorcycle is provided on this basis.

[0061] The modular connection ring 106, the shell 104 and the washer 114 are made of lightweight high-strength materials, which are aluminum alloy or carbon fiber reinforced composite materials.

[0062] The hole sites 108a-d and the vertical conduits 102a-d are symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the connection ring 106 and the shell 104, so that the load is uniformly transmitted to the washer 114 and the shell 104.

[0063] The lock nut 117 of the safety locking mechanism is screwed with the screw 116, and the spring washer 119 is located between the nut 117 and the shell 104, providing continuous pre-tightening force.

[0064] The washer 114 has a standardized thickness, and the single thickness is 5mm, 10mm or 15mm.

[0069] Shell 104: four vertical conduits 102a-d are provided at four corners and aligned with the hole sites, allowing the screw to pass through and fix the washer 114 after;

[0070] Washer 114: thickness is standardized, such as 10mm per piece, inserted between the connection ring and the shell, and the suspension length is adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number;

[0071] Safety locking mechanism: spring washer 119 and lock nut 117 are installed at the end of screw 116 in turn, and mechanical locking is formed after tightening, preventing loosening caused by vibration.

[0072] 2. Installation steps Figures 7-9

[0073] Align the connecting ring 106 with the housing 104, so that the hole positions 108a-d correspond to the conduits 102a-d;

[0074] Insert the corresponding number of washers 114 according to the desired suspension length;

[0075] Pass the screw 116, and install the spring washer 119 and the lock nut 117 in sequence;

[0076] Tighten the nut to the preset torque, ensuring that the washers are fixed and have no gaps.

[0077] 3. Actual application example

[0078] For example, the rear suspension of an off-road motorcycle is modified:

[0079] Insert two 10mm washers 114, and the suspension length is increased by 20mm;

[0080] Pass the screw 116 through the conduit and the hole position, and install the lock nut 117 and the spring washer 119 at the end;
