Should not be. I think something mechanically wrong like neck bearing not adjusted right.

I'd touch base with the dealer and the guy who did the set-up ( inspection ) just for peace of mind ... Good Luck

Set up? My guess is they didn't do a proper set up, ie: adjust suspension, check critical fasteners, tire air pressure. At least that has been my experience with the last two harleys I bought. Just because the dealer is supposed to do it, and is paid to do it, doesn't mean it was done
