Maybe it's easier with light bikes to stay more on top of the sand and not plow.
The steep fork angle (27 degrees) makes the KDX tend to wallow in sand.
So a stiffer fork springs, or more preload, or dropping the forks in the clamps, or lowering the rear spring preload, or increasing the fork compression damping setting all help with stability.
