Sounds like a faulty VIS power motor there should be a kick just before 3k revs and then the balance motor takes over at 4k revs which is what you felt.

Try another with work vis and you will see the difference

The 120 speedo would be the fuse for the ABS, I disconnected mine in the snow and the speedo stopped! Although that would bring on the ABS light, unless like mine there was tape over it! lol
