You can adjust either way. Adjustment measurements are different for each, or at least they used to be.

Manual for an 05 FLHTI says "cold" 5/8" to 7/8" "Hot 3/8" to 5/8"
I have usually adjusted during primary fluid changes, so the temp has dropped to somewhere in the middle. I will shoot for somewhere between 5/8" to 3/4".
Hope this helps.

All I can add is cold is more repeatable. Hot can have too many different temps as a base line.

   I've never understood why anyone would choose to work on a hot engine when the alternative is possible.
