that seems normal
engine usually idle higher when cold to warm up engine and cat faster.
over time the engine warms up and then returns to normal idle.

That's normal for your idle.

You can check your ignition timing with a timing light, I've found that ignition timing doesn't make a lot of difference on Honda engines, but it's good to know it's set correctly.

Mine was at 2 deg BTDC for 1 year and 9 months and should be at 12.It was the source of my surging hesitation problem that nearly drove me nuts :)
