Haibike allmnt6 dropper-problem

[Sammy]

So i bought my first emtb haibike allmant6 and now i have driven 60km with it.
Today i had first issue with it. The dropper-post rises on its own everytime i rise my butt from the seat.
I tried to adjust cable but it didnt work. More i tried to fix it more sensitive it get. Now i only need to push with my hand and it rises maybe 3cm, another push and another 3cm etc.
So is there way to fix this on my own or is it just broken?

I would suggest it is cable tension as it moves when the suspension flexes. I would loosen the cable at the lever, check that the cable isn't snagging on anything and retighten. see if that does the trick.

Even if i take the post and seat off from the bike it raises when i push it, so its not cable tension. The new dropper is on its way and when it comes i'll make autopsy for this.

I've found almost every dropper to have that issue at one time or another. Just normally needs some fine tuning with the adjuster, but sometimes if the seat is pushed down too far the cable can bunch up, depending on what height it was first installed at and it's hard to get the right adjustment. Easiest thing is to undo screw holding the cable at the lever and then get your seat at the right height and then pull the cable through until it's tight and then tighten the screw at the lever again and trim off the excess cable.

I actually trimmed off about 10cm from my dropper cable to bring it in closer to the bar as well because normally they are not cut in the factory and stick out quite far. Was 5 minute job and looks much better now.

Can see before and after here.

Take the dropper out and tighten the end cap at the bottom and make sure the top call is tight also.
