I'm also on a Transition, some wet riding but mostly dust. 3 or so times a year (so far) I've been doing the same. In my experience the main pivot always needs more grease. I skip the flush and clean step and just stuff more grease in there...maybe it'll reduce the bearing life some, but way less hassle.
I'm going to try a little homemade fender on the loam shelf to see if protecting the main pivot from some dust/spray will help.
