Hot! I make the adjustment when the valves are as hot as I can stand them but of course they cool by the time I finish. If it is any consolation, my observation is that the more miles you rack up the less often the valves need adjusting.

Properly adjusted valves tap LESS than improperly adjusted valves, but you will never eliminate the clatter entirely in a push rod motor like the Bullet. Also, metals expand at different rates so a motor that doesn't clatter when cold may clatter as it heats up or the opposite may occur.
