He didn't seem too worried about it...
When in doubt, throttle out...

Front end wobble usually can easily corrected by acceleration;
slowing down or grabbing the brakes will put more weight onto the front end, likely make the problem worse.
My 04 Ninja 250 used to do it all the time with OEM tires, I replaced the rear shock to a 09 unit,
replaced the rear tire with a 130/90-16 with taller profile, still wobbles when I let go both grips, but much better than OEM.
