Lately we have been riding on very tight, technical trails. Alot of first gear. And the beast has ran hot twice.
Antifreeze isn't great at heat transfer, you might want to reduce to 20/80 and add some water wetter that does a better job of transfering heat.

They open the front end of the shroud bringing in more air.
Also remember when you are riding slow stuff your thighs block the radiator exit holes while sitting,so stand as much as possible or ride with your knees out to help air flow.
As everyone else said,get rid of the antifreeze
Overheating is not a new problem with the KX 500 but it not a severe fix either. I ride alot in 110 degree weather in tight stuff, you just have to be aware of it BEFORE it gets hot
