When you turn it on does the throttle body make a lot of noise. Code 2100 & 2176 sounds like throttle body may be bad or the throttle controller.
This is what happened to me when my throttle body failed. I don't remember the codes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvooxPb2Sqs

I had the EXACT same issue as you described. I went as far as replacing the pins on the throttle body.
That exercise accomplished nothing, except when I had the plug all de-pinned, I installed the rubber cover that is installed on the newer models.
My problem ended up being the small green connector on the fly by wire throttle.
I removed the throttle and pulled the wire out. It has a fair amount of slack.
Once I saw the small green connector,(it has 6 wires I think), I cut it out and soldered and shrink wrapped the wires.
Be careful when you do this and do one wire at a time.
There are two different bundles of three wires that attach to the plug and there is duplicate colors in each of the bundles. White, black, and red(?), 2 of each one from each bundle.
Do not cross the bundles or you will have a bunch more issues.
It was a very easy job and as I mentioned, one wire at a time.
It has been over 5K miles and no hiccups.
Oh, I forgot to add, not only did I have the same problem, I have the same year and model bike.

My connector looked perfect, no corrosion, nothing. I did however break the clip when I tried to unplug it.
I read that the clip breaks easy when I was researching my problem and they are not lying.
Yes, I was in limp home mode and ran 25 miles that way. No throttle at all, but on the flat I could get to 18 MPH. Had my wife on the back. I tried "resetting" the computer with the key sequence at least 4-5 times and that was a real short term fix, maybe 2 minutes of normal running at best each time.
If you have questions PM me.
