Default Head bearing torque

I reinstalled my triple this evening and attempted to use the torque values in the service manual. The bottom one was okay. 45Nm and then a quarter turn back. Nice and smooth. But the top one is specified at 80Nm but could never be that tight. It was suuuuper notchy until I backed it off to under 40Nm.

I know I have to measure the steering force with a scale after the handle-bars are on again, but does it sound okay so far? With the top nut that loose?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
