Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Price in Chennai

Please do not buy this trash. Those who already bought, I wish they were not facing what I am going through. The bike instrument cluster & its switches are not working within 15 days of the purchase.
The options and settings are getting changed automatically including the ABS on off. trip value is getting reset by its own. The joystick, home button & mode change button are behaving weirdly. everything is getting selected or deselected on its own without touching the buttons.
I have videos and shared the same with RE team but they are not able to rectify the problem, Neither able to change the switch module.
Now they keep my new bike in their service centre & do all experiments with my bike.
No proper response or justification from RE team. Such poor materials and products they are using for new Himalayan.
Shame on RE. My purchase and money are in waste.
Dropped so many emails, but still no proper resolution.
if you have already purchased, I wish you good luck so that you do not experience such poor service. If you are planning to buy a new Himalayan, kindly drop the plan immediately & go for some other bike.
Himalayan 450 is a disaster from RE team.
