JJJ, don't know where you are located at but for me here in Italy this link worked and works to order such an item...

Thanks, Ruffus.  It's an incredibly flaky website, so I'd really be buying a pig in a poke.  One user complained that there's no instructions, for example. Think I'd prefer buying through Amazon where I could return it if it didn't work!  Think I'll wait until you (or others) explain if you're able to make it work OK :-) 

[Ruffus]

Already did...

Looks better than the Kymco tool at 200 bucks! So, where does one find one of these?

There is no such Kymco tool!  The dealers lease the software/tool from Kymco.  Non-dealers can't get it.  Any information posted here on functional work-arounds is priceless!

Can this tool default systems back to a proper...anything?
Or is it only a reader.

Don't give up without a fight!  God's greatest gift is being able to learn new sh*t!

Recently there were some software updates to M3 tool. I upgraded my M3 tool from v1.47 to V24.03.05 and on my 2011 Kymco Downtown 300i: 1. I can't no longer communicate with ABS 8M module - communication error. 2. TPS Reset function is gone - it wasn't working in my case anyway. Good thing that I can downgrade back to 1.47.

The ham radio guys are real big on "upgrades" for the firmware on these modern software defined rigs. They come away, bunches of them, after turning their once working radios into "bricks!" Fortunately, many are able to do what you did and return to the previous version (that worked!).
