Split pin
A 1/16 in. by 3/8 in. split pin used in the rear swinging fork and suspension unit assembly.
This is a small split pin, 1/16 in. by 3/8 in., turning up in the swinging fork and rear suspension unit section of the parts books. Split pins like this one are used to lock a nut or clevis pin in place so it can't work loose from vibration - cheap insurance is the wrong way to put it, but the idea is simple: bend the tails and it stays put until you pull it back out.

We don't have a lot more detail on this one beyond where it shows up in the book. If you're working on the rear suspension linkage and need to replace a missing or corroded split pin, this is the size to match up against what you pull out.
Given how basic a part this is, fitment isn't really the issue - just confirm the size against what's on the bike before you order.
