There is a section on adjusting the head bearings in the service manual. I don't remember it verbatium but you put it up on a lift and move the fork to the right, let go and see where it stops. That will determine what action is needed. Read the manual.

Friend, there ain't no way grease can truely fix your problem. I'm glad you have a temporary respite, but keep looking as you might have a problem that will put you down hard.
At best, the grease is covering up a flakey bearing or too loose bearings. As the grease thins and flows down out of the bearings, the problem will resurface.
My first advice to you is to conduct a Fall Away test as described in the service man. It is best done with hand controls and cables removed from bars. They are simple to slip off if your bars are not internally wired-just loosen the screws and slide them off and let them hang as you do the test.
