For details on the engine allotments for the three types of premier class entires, see this page.

After the first four rounds of the 2015 MotoGP season, engine use is as follows.

Factory Teams (5 engines)

Repsol Honda – Though not yet listed as Withdrawn From Allocation on the official sheet, engine #2 in Marquez’ set of five was damaged at CotA, as he admitted to MotoMatters. This engine was raced at Losail, then failed during Q2 in Austin, forcing Marquez to park the bike against the pit wall and sprint back to his box for his second bike. His engine #3 was placed into use for the CotA warm up, then raced in Argentina. So Marquez has four engines for the remainder of the season, with engine #1 having been raced twice and #3 having been raced once. Engines #4 and #5 have not yet been opened.
