I have just replaced the rear wheel bearings on my 09 FE450 and found that the rear hub spacer appears to be to long and the bearing that doesnt have the circlip cant be pushed all the way in until the outer race bottoms out in the hub. How do I know that I havnt put to much side load in the bearing race by pushing the outer race in to far.

I fitted an All Balls upgrade kit which means I cant re fit the circlip. I put that bearing in first so it was all the way home. The bearings went in tight and I used little bit of Loctite, but am concerned that the bearings may move a bit in the hub without the circlip.

The new hub spacer is the same length as the original.
 
No need for loctite. Next time, freeze bearings for a few hours, and heat hub with a heat gun and they should tap in very easily with a block and a dead blow.

I did the one with the circlip first and kept tapping it and checking for circlip fit. Then the inner tube spacer, then the other bearing. Grease, and then the seals.

At this point, you might be able to heat the hub up on both sides, and tap it back where it's supposed to be. Dead blow hammer and use the old outside spacer to beat on.
 
The all balls kit I instalked in my rear hub came with wider bearings and narrower steel spacers, the cirpclip became redundant. Could it be that the wrong spacers have been included with your kit.
What is the part # of the kit?

Not sure of the P/N but it all went back in to the Swingarm OK. The outer spacers the seals run on were narrower but the spacer in side the hub seems to long and wont allow one of the bearings to seat all the way in the hub. It was the same as the OEM spacer so even if I fitted OEM bearings after, pushing the side with the circlip all the way in the hub, the other side would not go all the way in and bottom out in the hub.

I have done 250km on it with the new bearings and they they seem OK so I will assume that I fitted them correctly.
