Time to get another trackstand, I suppose. I hated my last trackstand - which is why I pushed it off on the purchaser of my Zephyr. Nobody makes a centerstand for the Vulcan 500 - nobody makes anything for the Vulcan 500. It's such a starter bike.
grasp the chain with the rag and spin the wheel
My friend Jason was doing this with the engine running and in gear, while the bike was on a center stand. The rag caught, and pulled his hand in between the chain and the rear sprocket, stalling the engine. His screams brought around a neighbor, who had to be coached through his squeamishness to put the bike in neutral and rotate the tire back.
Fortunately, the chain and sprocket were undamaged. (And Jason has only minor scars.)
At the moment, with no stand, I have to spray some chain, walk the bike forward, spray some chain, walk the bike forward, etc, etc, etc. Tedious.

Boy that bike must be light. :-)
