On my '88 900T, the clutch fluid tube into the reservoir was higher than the brake fluid tube into it, and the clutch would definately suck air before the brakes would. It's divided, but the division is not up to the top of the tank. The brake side of it will get low, but not low enough to suck air. At least, in my USA-spec '88 900Turbo. I know for a fact that if, for instance (ahem) you blow your clutch tube apart (right where the flexible hose is crimped to the flared steel line, let's say...), you will lose clutch (of course) but that you do in fact still have brakes...been there, done that. Drove home anyway ;) Dave Hinz
