FSA Orbitz Integrated Headset Problem?

So ive been riding my reventon for about a month or so and noticed that my headset creeks after going riding 2-3 times.

I've already pulled it apart and lubed the green part of the headset on both sides, took off the top race and put lube there and was wondering should i be lubricating the fork race as well or not?

My headset keeps on creaking directly after i put my scooter back together. Whenever i pull up on my bars or turn my headset it creaks and I know for a fact its not my deck. My headset doesnt spin very well either, if i let my bars spin freely without my hands on them, it spins around once like a barspin and no longer. It literally stops. Am i tightening my scs too much?

Just worried somethings goin wrong and all my friends who have reventons and integrated headsets never had a problem and ive already lubed my headset 3 times in a month

clean it out, with water OMG! :p then let it dry, then soak it it turps and dry it again, then put hhhhhhhheeeeeeeeaaaaaaaappppppppsssssss of emgine lube in it, then spin it abit, then put even more in. then if it still does it, its probably ur bars :)

Im actually new to integrated headsets so how the hell do i take apart the whole headset without screwing it up?
And i have headset lube or whatever and i put it on the green part of it and nothing else.
And its not the bars because ive changed my bars and even before it creaked.
 
just carefully pry the bearings out of your deck. lube the part the bearings sit in then put the bearings back, i had this same problem on a few of my bikes.

instead of lubing them whole, stick a sharp object in there and wedge the case off, then thouroughly rub it in :0
