You'll also want to check the engine serial number on the Euro website to make sure you didn't get one of the French detuned engines. A simple fix by removing the stainless throttle body reducers and buying the replacement chip (around $40.00, IIRC).

Is it common for a US bike to have a French detuned engine? Seems like Yamaha would get that one straight

Wait, wait let me try..... The rear wheel moving may be because the alignment of the front and rear wheels are off. You just need to go buy some Flight Line at the local HD shop and it will make the task of aligning the wheels much easier.
