What happened to my bike engine I hear different sound

Bike: 2018 Bajaj Pulsar 150 BS4 (carb)

Problem started after I adjusted the air-fuel mixture screw.

Current symptoms:

Bike starts and idles properly

Runs normally at low/mid RPM

Won’t go above around 8000 RPM

Engine sound becomes louder/different at high RPM

If I partially block the air intake with a cloth, the bike runs better

Small popping/backfire sound from exhaust sometimes

What I checked:

Idle is stable

Bike is not stalling

RPM and speed both stop increasing after ~8000

Could this be:

lean mixture,

intake air leak,

clogged main jet,

or something more serious like valves?

Any advice on what to check first?

19 years old and already exhausted with life

I’m 19 and honestly feel exhausted with life right now. I have semester exams on the 19th, I’m struggling financially, and I need to pay ₹7000 for bike finance. Today my bike suddenly started stalling and I spent more than an hour on the roadside trying to fix it myself with no result. I finally just parked it and came home feeling completely defeated.

What hurts the most is seeing other people my age enjoying life while I’m constantly stressed about money, repairs, responsibilities, and trying to survive month to month.

I know people have bigger problems, but tonight everything just hit me at once. I just needed to vent somewhere.I feel like I’m carrying pressure all the time and nobody around me really sees it. Sometimes I act normal outside, but inside I’m constantly worried about money, the future, family expectations, studies, and whether things will ever actually get better for me. Tonight when the bike stopped working after I already spent money trying to fix it, something just broke inside me emotionally.

I know it may sound dramatic, but I genuinely feel tired of struggling while everyone around my age seems to be enjoying life without thinking twice about expenses or responsibilities. I’m trying hard not to give up, but some nights it really feels overwhelming.

Sometimes I even think about ending my life

Teenage money struggle

Title: Struggling with bike finance at 18 and feeling pressured

I’m 18 from India and currently dealing with bike finance pressure. My family already has money stress and this month’s payment is worrying me a lot.

I’m planning to work during my college holidays to manage expenses, maybe construction work or anything available. I’ve worked before so I’m not ashamed of hard work, but mentally it feels exhausting handling studies + finance tension at this age.

Sometimes I feel like other teenagers are just enjoying life while I’m stuck worrying about EMIs and money.

Has anyone else gone through this? How did you manage the stress and payments?
