more to this story than has been said. 2100 miles is not enough mileage to have a chain stretch more than half a link in total length, not stretch the amount it takes to slip a tooth. Either the speedo was unhook or has been changed or the previous owner changed sprockets and did not even attempt to re tension the chain. If you take, for example a 17 tooth off the front and install a 16 the chain may have enough slack to do this, but no way 2100 miles will stretch one that far. No way.
