Is there a way to tighten the stock front foot pegs?

Hi guys.

I'm a new rider and so far am extremely happy with my decison to get my motorbike learner permit and get a Ninja 400 (2022). However I've noticed the foot pegs move upwards really easily when I'm adjusting my feet to use the gear lever. I have big feet unfortunately (Size 13 AUS, Size 14 USA) so I can't really make adjustments to my foot position to ease this.

Is there a way to tighten them? I can't exactly see anything on the peg that would allow me to do this, but I'm not entirely savvy with mechanical stuff regarding vehicles.

Thank you!

It's not specifically a problem, they aren't loose like they are flapping around, I still need to exert force to move them, but I find moving my foot backwards onto the peg makes it move upwards. I'm just wondering if there is a way to tighten the OEM ones of there so they are a lot harder to move. If not I can look into fixed position pegs like you mentioned :)

I don't have the footpegs in front of me right now, but you might be able to tighten the OEM footegs by inserting a washer onto the pivot pin, between the footpeg and the mount, to add some resistance. Washer come in different thicknesses if you can get to a place that seels exclusively nuts, bolts, and other specialty metal pieces.
