My 17' EX also has that same issue, it gave the impression that the handle bar is not properly aligned, i.e. one of the grip seemed closer to the rider than the other side. So I loosened the 2 handle bar stem nuts under the top bridge (triple clamp), twisted the handle bar left/right to each stop a few times to reseat the clamps and re-torqued without any improvement.
At the time I noticed that the 2 clamps were mounted on rubber washer, so I figured that may be the rubber washers were the issue because the handle bar straight section when eyeballed against the 2 forks at the top bridge is not aligned.
Note:
The bike was never dropped or strapped on a trailer.
The bike when new is held via the 2 handlebar clamps to the shipping crate via an extension bracket. (will provide the picture once I figured out how to reduce the picture file size).
Will investigate further when the weather gets warmer.
