Is it a genuine or pattern cush drive, was it brand new or a very good second hand one and how old is the engine?
I had two PX's in last year with problems with the cush drive (teeth braking off and causing damage in the engine).
I was told that the later batches of the PX had so many corners cut as they were bringing production to an end, getting very cheap components and fitting them....

i would say its a patern part, but new, even the geezer in the scooter shop said he has never heard anything like this noise before, thought maybe he has broke a gear tooth??.

Ok next question. Who fitted it, get them to look at it and sort it before it gets worse.
