wobble when no hands on the handlebar

Noticed when I drive with no hands on the bars that after a couple seconds the front end starts to wobble, amplitude increases pretty quick. Grabbing the bars stops it immediately.

I acknowledge the easy solution is to not take my hands off the bars.

My question is, does this shimmy / wobble indicate something I should be repairing before it gets worse?

Bike has approx 3000 miles. Wobble stiil happens on smooth roads. Seems to do it regardless of speed, but I haven't tried at highway speed for obvious reasons.

could also be a balance issue, but that usually only presents itself at higher speeds.
