yes, they can be extended as far as 150mm i believe. sounds like excessive top out, you could try a slightly heavier oil, or new rebound bushings if your a rich roznuc

There should be oil in them, Check out the Marz Website and it should give you some more information on your forks

I seriously doubt there will be enough stanchion in there to get to 150mm, although 150mm models do exist.
Pretty much all Marz DJ forks suffer from excessive topout except the top models. You can slow them down with heavy greasing, heavier oil if applicable etc but this will also slow your compression. Live with it till you can score a better fork.

Nah theres no oil adjustability in those. You could mess about making a different topout bumper but thats about it, i wouldn't bother. Save for some Argyles.

fix = buy a better fork. Most cheap forks have horrible top out. the marzocchi dj's that came off the 06 p1's were some of the worst for topping out.

all forks take oil buddy.
if you find it too much of a problem then you should upgrade to a dirt jumper. then you'll have some more adjustabiity and a nicer fork all round

Not true. Not every fork is oil damped - in this case the MCU itself provides the damping - badly. Even the basic oil-damped DJs have this issue too.
