Funny. My shitty chinese bikes have both been perfectly fine and stable., no .better or worse than my big name bikes. I think this is a case of PEBSAS - Problem Exists Between Seat And Sky.

This is where I would check first. Not only would a lack of proper tension cause these types of issues, but a lack of grease as well, which the Hawks are especially bad about. My steering stem bearings were completely devoid of grease. Proper prep and setup goes far with these bikes.
I also agree with Bruces, some of it might be in the tire pressure. 40psi is the max recommended rear, but that is intended for when riding 2 up, or if you are loaded down with luggage. If the tire doesn't have enough give it can feel a little twitchy due to a lack of resisfance.
