Welcome to kdxrider.

It may be time to split the crankcase to check the transmission. It may be a bent shift fork. Do some research on "bent shift fork". Your problem is a dirt bike problem in general not specific to a KDX, so Google around here and elsewhere.

My first thought was also a bent shift fork.

Definitely need to split the cases for that, like mentioned above possibly a bent or broken shift fork. No way to diagnose and fix without opening it up.
