I don't own a kfx, but did you try lubricating the shock bushings or A-arm bushings?

Not sure exactly on the bushing style of the KFX, but if they slide out, clean them up with some WD40, and then lube with wheel bearing grease/lithium grease, etc. I personally prefer Mobil 1 full synthetic grease as it holds up a lot longer and is a very high quality grease. I use it on my A-arm bushings, swingarm pivot bolt, etc.

Any grease will do if you have some laying around. Most likely your bushings are dried out and have some dirt in there which is why you are getting the squeaking noise.

Antiseize will stop the squeeking also, I did that on my 400 and it worked.
