Not if it is properly jetted, and the oil/fuel is properly mixed.
Normal trail riding, you'd probably get at least 2 seasons out of it (depending).

If you rode the bike night and day, every day, sure. For typical use, nope.

One hour, every day... would still last a couple seasons, depending on how you're riding it. I never really track my hours on bikes, guestimate mileage... ride (hopefully) a hundred miles a month on my last bike and did a piston swap (which is easy BTW) once a year... but... it was an 85 YZ which seemed to go through them fast. Have been riding my KTM since Feb, probably put 12-1500 miles on it and haven't thought about doing one yet.
