The cush drive sits inside your back wheel. It provides a cushion for
transmission backlash. A typical symptom of a failed cush drive is when
you put your bike in first and drive off it feels like somthing has hit
you from behind. 
To check your cush drive do the following:

Put your bike on a paddock stand (if you have one) or get the back end
off the floor somehow. 
Put your bike in first gear.
Grab the back wheel and try to push it around. If it moves more than a
fraction then your cush drive needs replacing.

Hope this helps...
