I have a 5th-level Monk, whose martial arts die is a d6. I'm wielding a magic +1 dagger in my hand.
If I use my martial arts die in place of "the weapon's normal damage", does the dagger then deal 1d6 (replacing all of the weapon's damage), or 1d6+1 (replacing only the weapon's d4 damage die, but still including the +1 enchantment)?

The +1 Carries Forward
The martial arts class feature (PH page 78), at 5th level, allows you to
A dagger is a monk weapon, so its damage is changed.
What, then, is the "normal damage" of a weapon? We turn to page 146 of the Player's Handbook:
A +1 weapon (DMG page 213) adds
Parsing these all together we can determine that:
The +1 is still added, since that's not part of the normal damage a dagger does.
