I have a '16 KTM 690 Enduro, '14 Yamaha R1, and a '12 Arctic cat XF1100 turbo, and was wondering if I could switch over to Toyota red when they're due to be changed. I already have 2 Toyotas, and would rather only have one type of antifreeze on hand. They all have aluminum radiators/exchangers. The R1 and KTM also have aluminum engine blocks, not sure about the cat.
Thanks.
 
There should not be any trouble at all using that coolant. Do complete flushes prior to change-over and that should be all you need to do.

Seal compatibility is normally the only concern and that's not really a concern in modern times.

For what it's worth, I use BMW coolant in my Kawasaki ZX14R and change it at 4 year intervals just as BMW recommends. My John Deere lawn mower has VW G-13 coolant in it and has had some version of the G-12, G-12++ for fifteen years and not any issues whatsoever.
