They are all good mate, well, as close to perfect as you'd need.
There's a relationship between PH and KH.
KH gets depleted over time and when it runs out it starts to adversely affect PH (it goes lower, and whilst 7 is perfect, you don't want it going much lower than 7).
So I'd say to keep an eye on KH particularly over the summer when feeding heavily just to make sure you have some. If KH gets down to say 1 or 2 then maybe you need to increase water changes.
Other than that you've got nothing to worry about if those numbers stay as they are, just feed your Koi and watch them grow.
