Coolant is not coolant.
Some are ethylene glycol based some are not, some have silicate inorganic corrosion inhibitors some don't, some have special lubricants and some don't. It is correct not to mix and flush if you add a different kind.
It is always best to use what is recommended, unless you know what metals are used and if any lubrication is required and what additive is required to not inhibit corrosion in your specific motorcycle don't guess.
You can also use plain water but I wouldn't recommend it.
