Overnight is overkill. Coll to the touch is good enough. Since we are talking first service, by the time you change oil and clean screen, fill with oil. And then remove saddle, sidecovers, tank, air injector, carbon canister. And maybe re-jet the carb. Then the valves will be plenty cool..Or pretty much anytime before that.
