Default new bike...minor problem

Well, I finally got my new roadstar midnight silverado. I love the bike, but there is a wobble issue. I noticed that if i release the handlebars slightly, the front starts to wobble, and the wobble gets worse the longer it goes. holding the bars like normal, and you don't feel it wobble at all. i called the dealer after i got it home to check on tire weights, because i had different tires put on before i took delivery. he said the tire has no weights on it because it zero'd out on the machine and didn't call for any weight. He said it could be in the neck...not tight enough maybe? I don't know, but I'm just a little uneasy about it. Do some bikes wobble more by nature than others? I don't remember my vulcan doing that.

I read through the wobble thread, but that was a different bike with a tire situation not like mine, which is new. Seems like I saw someone post something about a wobbling roadstar, but i can't find that thread now.

any help, or suggestions? Thanks.
