I was cleaning my bike today and noticed grease leaking from steering head. I live in Canada, I know it's hot nowadays, but I used to live in middle east where temperature average is around 55 C and never experienced similar issue before. Any thoughts? Anyone had similar situation? (I bought my 2022 R18 classic bike brand new two months ago)

Same here. A generous amount of grease was applied which is better than little or non at all. My B had that issue and also on the gears shifter where a little bit of a blue grease came out. All clean now an no more excess to be seen.
 
I did have a fairly significant amount of white grease on my Transcontinental steering neck. I believe it was cleaned up after the bike went in for its first service though. I have a look when I get home and if its still there I’ll post a picture.
