I've got the manuals for both of my Suzuki bikes. Some parts like the
electronics are good, others do assume you've worked on bikes and just
hit the high spots.

I got the shop manual (and a helmet!) for free from the dealer (the helmet
was a factory promo) in 1982 when I bought my first GT650M Sebring (as I
recall).

It sucked.
But I did use it to adjust the cam shims, as I recall.
And to replace the alternator (they used a *permanent* magnet!).

But it still sucked.
Millions of steps are missed.

Still, I agree that the FSM is required.
But that doesn't make it not suck.
