That is quite normal if the weight of the bike is on the front wheel or fork lowers as the weight of the bike tries to push the towards the ground and moves the front axle slightly forward. If wheel is on the ground applying the front brakee and rocking forward allows the top yoke to drop into place. Sounds to me as though you have disturbed the top bearing nut, the one that comes through the centre of the top yoke and have it to tight, putting to much pressure on your head race bearings. I would try backing it off 1/8th to a 1/4 of a turn.
