You simply have to go to an auto parts store, buy a new ring connector and solder (recommended) a new connector to the end of the wire. I've attached a photo.

Awesome, thank you both for the pointers, and thanks Ram Jet for the very helpful picture.
I was trying to take a picture of my situation, but it was dark when I got home to the Ninja (rained last night) and any pictures were't gonna turn out good. But basically my wire still has that ring or horseshoe-looking connector on the end, it just wasn't crimped to the sending unit. Was just kind of free to move around underneath the rubber boot.
I will have owned my Ninja for 8 years in July, and I have never messed with the sending unit or sensor. So...that means the wire has been like that for an absolute minimum of 8 years, and it just now starts acting up. Pretty crazy!
I'll give this a shot tomorrow, nice and simple, and all should be good to go. Thanks again guys.
