And, on all other Hondas that I've owned and checked valves on, can't remember needing to make an adjustment.
All my Honda and Yamaha inline-4s never had the valve clearances checked. I tried once, but the dealership said it was not needed (non-hydraulic lifters). They did say they would do it and I would pay, but they were pretty confident it wasn't needed. I felt differently, even though the bike ran well.
The dealership also warned that some garages say the work was done on some jobs, but it wasn't.
As with many things with vehicles, it is best to just learn to do it yourself.
