Are you positive you got the bearings and spacers installed correctly?

It could be:
dragging rear brake
Chain too tight
bearings installed incorrectly
wheel rubbing on swingarm
chain rubbing on chain cover
front sprocket rubbing on engine case (only if you installed an aftermarket spacer).

If you have checked all that completly, a quick ride down the street and back should show the culprit. Just look for hot parts when you get back.
