I'd start with the basics and go from there.  Suspension should be serviced at least once a year.  Chances are good your 96 has never been done and the fork and shock fluid is very dirty and in need of replacement.   You could certainly work out some of your problem with additional fork oil, adjusting your sag and playing with your clickers but personally I think the place to start it to freshen up the suspension, balance it and take things from there.  Even just freshening up suspension fluid makes a very noticeable difference to suspension performance.

As others have mentioned the KDXs suspension is out of balance from the factory and needs some attention to improve handling.  I'd suggest you contact a professional suspension tuner and talk to them about your suspension needs.  Balanced suspension greatly improves the handling.  We aren't talking about a whole bunch of money here, likely just a shock spring.  You may even be able to round up a good used one.

Once you've got these issues sorted out I'm sure some simple sag and clicker adjustments will have you smiling again and be money well spent.
