RPS Hawk Unstable?

2 Issues:
1.) My totally stock RPS Hawk doesn’t feel stable on the road. I have 32psi front 40 rear. It seems to want to wander side to side. I ride mostly for now on suburban and country roads. When I approach 40mph especially I feel the bike wants to move side to side - almost like I’m being hit with small gusts of wind. I have about 150 units on my odometer (km or mi - not sure which). Going over 40 at this point doesn’t seem safe. Is there something wrong with the bike or is it in my head?
2.) The long asphalt joint lines make the bike shimmy/shudder very fast side to side when my rear wheel gets in them. Is this normal? Same thing happens in the rain grooves on concrete roads. It’s really unsettling!

Thanks for any insight!
